Is there a way to "nest" smartlists -- i.e. have smartlists that reference other smartlists?  I'd like to create an "exclude" smartlist that I can place inside other smartlists.  This way, I can add to the single "exclude" smartlist and all the other smartlists that include this "exclude" smartlist will automatically reflect the changes and stay current -- i.e. I won't have to edit all the other smartlists that need the same overall exclude parameters.

Thanks,

Larry

Yes.

It is not the most elegant solution though. In my opinion, it should be possible to have all those rules in one smartlist. That does make it a little complicated though for both programmer and user alike!

You reference your Exclude smartlist like any other playlist:

.... (current SmartList criteria) ... -[Playlist]=[Exclude]

Or use the wizard and choose "Playlists..." and "Exclude" at the bottom.

You can then update your Exclude playlist however you want.

Remember, though, that each smartlist you nest means a slightly slower response because each one needs to be calculated each time.

Thanks -- that's the information I was looking for.  I kept looking for references to "smartlists" rather than "playlists" -- I figured it was something simple like that.
