Title: Song in a playlist, but playlist is missing from that song's playlist tag field
Post by: Knick on August 02, 2021, 01:05:50 pm

I seem to have an intermittent problem with playlists

When I look at the tags for some songs, I sometimes find that certain playlists that should be appearing in that songs playlist field tag, don’t appear.
An example, I have many playlists that are “live” versions of a given bands catalog, filtered by a "live" genre tag for that song.  Though I see that song in the playlist listing under "Playlists", and can play it as part of that bands "live" playlist, that bands “live” playlist isn’t shown in the playlist field as part of the tag for that song.

Any suggestions on how to solve?

Are your playlists actually smartlists?  It seems so given your comment about 'filtered by live'.

I'm no expert, but I don't think smartlists show up in the playlists field.  To do that, the program would have to process every smartlist every time that field was shown.  I may be wrong.

I think you've nailed it.  Many thanks as I never would have figured that out.
