Hi,  
I am a media center user for a public place, i am trying to create a smartlist of about 500 songs or more which shall play daily randomly for about 16 hrs (scheduled task) at a condition that each day when starting up it shall play different songs than the day before until it plays all the 500 songs in 4 or 5 days then to restart from the begining and so on ...
Does any one knows the rules for such a need ??

I appreciate receiving anyone's help .Thank you very much .

Set up a playlist with the following:

[Last Played]=<7200

That will include all tracks played within the last 7200 minutes (5 days).  Then use the playback filter to exclude all tracks in that playlist.

Oh and if you want to select 16 hours of music at random check out the auto smartlist (music) caled 'Random--one hour'.  That'll give you a clue as to the formula.  On the other hand you could just play the whole library and switch it off when done 'cos the above exclusion will do the important bit.

Or you could do it the oposite way.


When you make the smartlist of music just include as part of the search criteria:   [Last Played]=>7200

That way it will ONLY include songs that haven't been played in the last two days, no need to filter anything.


Or if you want the 500 songs to be ones you chose manually then just put them all into a playlist of your choice and for the smartlist just set it up to include the playlist files but exclude the lastplayed part.


Doing it this way has the advantage that you wont forget that you have a playlist filter on and wonder why its not playing some songs.

However using the filter means you could easily send any playlist to it and it'd just exlude recently played songs from EVERYTHING you try to play - if this is what you want then it's perfect.


Smartlist = good for specific setting of what to exclude with what bunch of songs
Filter = good to apply to EVERYTHING played
