im new to smartlists....
Must be good from the excitement i'm seeing!!
One thing. The stars are also available when you select any Data Type, and the Edit Type "Five Star" can still be selected. Can it be greyed out when anything but Interer is selected? Would prevent a little confusion maby?I was wondering about this to!
I'm glad the 5-Star functionality has been added, it will at least allow me to cludge around my problem, assuming I have a list with 5 items or less and I want to memorize what each value signifies. However, I think the more universal solution still should be a multi-selector checklist dropdown of an arbitrary number of list items. This would allow users to create any system they like for quick tagging of custom attributes. It would also reduce selection of list items in a minimum of two quick clicks instead of 1) click field 2) chose items from field selector window that comes up 3) close field window (keep in mind that there are also significant interface inefficiencies that accompany this seemingly insignificant one extra click).
Here's an attempt at an ascii depiction of a dropdown custom field I would use:This would be used to filter for if there are children present or for certain situations/company where I may want to prevent tracks dropping the f-bomb and rapping about strippers from coming on all of a sudden.

I agree with Alex that this wasn't quite the implementation I was hoping for. I put this info in the original thread Alex references, but this is a fresher thread, so here's what I'd like:
That's something quite different than star ratings is it not? What you are asking for is almost completely implemented already I belive. Try to make you're own field with Data Type: List (Semicolon Delimited) and enter you're string values. It will give you check mark boxes as you edit the tags.
I am a bit disappointed. I was hoping that it would allow to use any number of stars (i.e. values) and would not be limited to numeric integer values.
For instance, a one-star field could be used as an on/off switch. It could apply a single predifined value when the star is clicked. The value could be anything, like "include in the set". Another calculated field could be used for displaying the value where preferred and naturally it could be used in a search or smartlist rule.
I can't seem to get this to work for the Tempo field I created. I want to use stars and I copied the settings from the Rating field but it's not working.I'm assuming you can set star ratings in a user field but clicking like you do with ratings. I have version 13.036
The data must be Integer and the value have to be 1;2;3;4;5 I belive.

Well I did not have the latest version [deleted]I was about to ask you if you were stuck on MC 12 :)
edited to say, I could not name the field Tempo, used Intensity and that worked. Cool and thanks

Would recommend you to make you're own fields, not standard fields that's used with MC. Audio analysis uses the fields you have been trying (tempo and intensity).
The display name can be the same. But the real name should be unique. It might be confusing when you set up views and similar, but should not be much more problems.I'll try that, right now I don't believe I have any numerical ratings for tempo and intensity. I have the box checked to analyze files when they are imported, do I have to do a seperate analysis for those?
I've been using the built in tempo and intensity tags. Sometimes they're off, but it's a easier to change a few rather than to set new tags for all files. If you have to use the 5 star rating system I would recommend to split up the tempo numbers 1-200'ish into 5 groups. For example: 1 star = 1-69, 2 stars = 70-119 etc. In other words, just copy the analysis numbers to a new field with fewer numbers (stars). Would save you alot of tagging I suppose.
