I would like to put a filter on the Playing Now that is not based on an individual Playlist, but rather a playlist GROUP.

Create playlist groups like this:
Me --
    Favorites
    Techno
Wife --
    Favorites
Baby --
    Barney's Greatest Hits
    Mother Goose

I want to put a DO NOT PLAY filter for the entire GROUP of "Baby"  So, if I have a party, noone accidentally puts a Barney song OR any other song for our son on the Jukebox!!!

Does this make sense now ?

The only part I don't understand is why you wouldn't want to play a Barney song at a party, especially towards the end

Baaaahhhhahahahahaha!!!  

Hehe, as a workaround, you could do this:

1.  Create a new smartlist, call it "uberfilter"
2.  Add each playlist in the Baby group as a SKIP rule to your smartlist.  That is, hit add rule, playlist.  Select the offending barney playlists, and select skip.  Now you can use Uberfilter to filter your playback!  

Or, you could create another library and delete the barney stuff from it... then you can switch to it and not worry about it.

It'd still be a cool idea to filter by playlist group, mind you... valid idea, but there's definately ways to get the job done now.

Yeah, make a smartlist like this for your filter:

playlist=[My Playlist Group"

Thank guys ... I already KNOW the workaround .. that's why this is an RFE ...

I'm trying to make this simpler for all users ... by adding this functionality ... I know how to create yet another playlist based on other playlists

Just a thought for future enhancements ...
