Request: Additional 'random playlist' options

Sindre,
Do you have any interest expanding the granularity of the playlist generator?
Specifically, I think it would be nice if one could create a playlist based on items tagged 'genre1' OR 'genre2'. Another example would be to create a playlist that includes any genre EXCEPT genre 'spoken word' etc.

Perhaps if there was simply an option to daisy chain the current items (i.e. click a button to add additional rows that contain the same songs|genre|year|folder).

Thanks

I like this idea as well, it is one of the most basic functions in other music players to sort songs by id3 tags.

I'm not really asking for the whole "sort my catalog by tag" feature, just an expansion to the current playlist generator where you can create a playlist based on 'any' genre or one specific genre. I'd like to be able to generate a playlist that contained both 'rock' and 'electronic' tagged music

Whilst the method is a bit clunky you can create a random playlist from genre1 - save it then create a playlist from genre 2 and add those tracks to the previously saved playlist.
Voila! a playlist with genre1 + 2 :)
Not ideal however :|

:mrgreen:

Actually, that's not too bad. Then I can shuffle the entire playlist afterwards too. I didn't notice the 'add to playlist' feature.
Thanks!
