Hmm... I guess I never used that with MC9.

I would use this search expression for filtering my four "Christmas" genres out:

-[Genre]=[Christmas],[Christmas // Classical],[Christmas // Electronic],[Christmas // Soundtrack]


Edit: as marko said...

(I really miss the forum SW notification about new posts arrived during writing my own post.)

Too bad it is gone; this is the best way to filter out music that does not fit.  I tried the view schemes, and that kinda works, but like you guys say, it just removes the files.  The old method with the greying out of the media file is great, because you can still make CDs and things with those files without having to go back and mess with stuff, it just wont play the files; and Global is good!

When I am just looking for a good random mix of things, I like to weed out the Christmas/Country/Rap genres since they are not appropriate most of the time; and this playback filter was the

Can we put this on the "put back in" request pile, please?

This is a slight bump.  BUT, now that I am using MC to store and manage all my audio test files (test tones, noise, etc) the lack of the OMIT/filter list is becoming a major problem.

Gentlemen: please put the playback filter back in so I don't have to listen to 1 kHz tones at 0 dBFS mixed in with my Sinead Lohan.

Of the 4 people I have preached/converted to MC, they too miss the omit/filter list.

That could be a good solution, but...upon first examination, the problem there is that I have a number of disparate machines ripping to the same drive that stores all the media.  So, every once in awhile I have to rescan the entire drive to absorb all the new library entries (all kinds of genres, too).  And keeping a separate library to weed out the test signals, classical, Rap, etc. that I do not listen all the time would have to be recreated each time I rescanned for media.  The older Media Center (9 I think) had this wonderful feature to weed out things with a Smartlist.  And everyone I personally know that has MC loved that feature.  Now it's gone.

Call to developers: please put it back in.  Am I missing something like, that feature adds 75% more code?  That feature adds 50% more cycles to perform?  There has to be some good reason to take a good feature out, no?

Mahalo.

How do I make a smartlist of material to omit during playback?
