I am curious if there is a way to re-fire a smartlist when the end is reached?  

What I'd like to do is setup a smartlist that will do something like randomly select 3 songs each from 10 randomly selected CDs, once the 30 songs have been played, the smartlist will re-fire and create a 'new' play list (another randomly selected 3 songs each from randomly selected 10 CD's)..

Just wondering if this is possible, and if not, if there is any plan for a new 'rule' that would perform this function.

Thanks!

Have you tried either the F5 key or View>Refresh? Either should force a requery. Mappings may not be exactly the same (mentioned are valid for MJ).

Yea, I am aware of those methods. I was just wondering if it could be done automatically... Something like a rule or modifier that said "When end of list is reached, refire the smartlist".  Basically something that doesn't take any interaction to accomplish.

It would be pretty handy to have something like that!

Not exactly what you ask for, but if you want that the smartlist don't repeat songs already played "recently" you could add to the smartlist rules -lastplayed=<=1440 . 1440 is the setting for not listened today (24x60). If you want you can change this to more time (or less) and everytime you use that smartlist you'll get different songs (i think  ?)

I've made it and it's something like ths:
 [Media Type]=[Audio] ~limit=10,-1,[Album],[Album Artist (auto)] ~limit=-1,3,[Album] -[Last Played]=<=1440

As i told you i know that is not exactly what you want, but it's the closest thing i can think off

Thanks dylanstan, that's useful, but not exactly what I was looking for as you pointed out.

I guess this isn't possible currently...  Any chance we could see this as a feature in the future?
