I'd like to report a longstanding bug in the smartlist editor that I've encountered since MC 14, at least (I'm currently using ver 17.0.189), but has only now annoyed me enough to finally report it. In my smartlists, I like to filter out songs that I have given a 1, 2, or 3 rating. 

For example, [Media Type]=[Audio] -[Rating]=1, 2, 3 [Genre]=[Blues],[Rock//Blues] ~sort=Random

In the editor, I enter a comma-separated list of rating values.  However, if I edit the playlist, the values are displayed as a semi-colon separated list. If I don't replace the semi-colons with commas before saving, the next time I edit the playlist, the rating rule is corrupted into three rules - "Rating is not 1 AND Custom 2, AND Custom 3".

Also, while not a bug, it would be nice if the Export Playlist dialog would remember the "Store paths relative to exported playlist location" checkbox setting.

Thanks!

Lists of values aren't supported in the editor for numeric fields like rating.

Instead, try [Rating]=<4 or [Rating]=4-5.

Does that work?

Unfortunately, no. I only give ratings to songs I want to filter out. So your suggestions wouldn't return any songs.
I suppose I could give them all the same rating but I have associated meaning to each score that I'd like to preserve.

Try this:

   [Media Type]=[Audio] [=regex([Rating,0],[123])]=0  [Genre]=[Blues],[Rock//Blues] ~sort=Random

Thanks! I'll give it a try.  Not sure, though, why a comma-separated list of numbers couldn't be supported in the editor.
