I'm thinking it would be useful if the rules in smartlists allowed for more than simple binary inclusion or exclusion. For example, it would be slick if I could have a "Rock" Smartlist that contained songs whos Genre was prefixed with "Rock". e.g. Rock: Oldies, Rock: Classics, Rock: 70's, etc. In addition to 'Prefixed' it would be nice to have 'Contains' so that "General Rock" or "Southern Rock" would also be picked up (some might argue these should be "Rock: General" and "Rock: Southern" but why go down that path again?).

Taking this a step further it would be slick if relational operators were allowed for numeric tags (e.g. Year, Rating) so that one could do "Rock: 80's" smartlist with (Year>79 AND Year<90) type rules.

By the way, can anyone tell me why the "Advanced<<" button is grayed out when I'm working on smartlist rules?

You can do pretty much all of that stuff now. Dig through the help file for some examples...

Thanks Matt,

You're quite right. I haven't tried but from the looks of the 'Search Modifiers' help topic it's all in there.

Typing in 'year=>1979' and seeing Year: >1979 takes a bit of getting used to.
