Is it possible to make a playlist w/all songs above a certain bitrate? Options

[atmospheric]

Is it possible to create a playlist that selects all songs above a certain bit-rate? And if so, how? ... thanks a ton in advance. If there is a thread about this already, please just link. I did not find anything very quickly using the search feature.

You could create an autoplaylist by filtering your Media Library by something like

CODE

%bitrate% GREATER 200

Replace the 200 with your desired value.

You could also filter only lossy files files by using

CODE

%__encoding% IS lossy AND %bitrate% GREATER 200

To only filter a specific file format, use something along the lines of

CODE

%__codec% IS MP3 AND %bitrate% GREATER 200

and replace MP3 with the codec of your choice.

so it's not possible to create a playlist that will automatically update itself with my higher bitrate music? ... I'm aiming to add anything equal to or greater than 320kbps to a playlist automagically, the reason for this is I have thousands upon thousands of songs, and I have only recently begun collecting my music via CDs and HDtracks.com for the highest SQ. Thank you for the help, even this simple method is very helpful - it's not difficult for me to type this in every time I open Foobar as I use iTunes for lower bit-rate music.

Did you even try it? I am guessing you missed reading the part that this is to create an autoplaylist that works exactly as you want. No need to type anything every time. Type your filter, context menu>Create Autoplaylist.
