Title: SmartList Genre Exclusion Problems
Post by: crumbly on September 14, 2006, 11:09:54 am

I'm trying to modify the 100 Random Songs smartlist to exclude various genres and it doesn't seem to be working.  Here's the expression I'm using:

[media type]=[audio] ~n=100 -[Genre]=[Christmas],[Classical],[Instrumental],[Obscuro],[Old Time] [Rating]=>2 or [Rating]==0

The rating bit works fine, and the genre exclusion seems to work for all the genres except classical; for some reason the smartlist always includes at least a couple of classical tracks.

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Brendan

I don't understand the "or [Rating]==0" at the end.  That'll include anything with a rating of 0, regardless of the genre.  Could that be the issue?

Yep that was it -- and I completely missed it.  I needed to group both rating expressions together with parentheses.

Thanks Matt.
