Sorry to keep posting what must be some really stupid questions, I've been trying to figure this one out for ages! I've read all the forum posts I can find that are related and I *think* that to create dynamic playlists one option is to create a custom 'view' for Album List, is this correct?

Anyway, I've tried writing some code to test the value of %rating% and have this:



Which doesn't work... Can anyone point out why? I'm trying to get the view to only show tracks with a rating of 3 or more.

This isn't how I'd idealy do it so if anyone can tell me of a better way I'd be very greatful!

Sorry for being a pain and thanks for being helpful

I assume you use 0.9.5 because it was not possible to create autoplaylists from the Album List before.

First of all, regarding your code, you should use $if instead of $if2 in this case. Second, apart from the unclosed bracket in front of %rating%, the problem is that there is no ">" operator. Use $greater(%rating%,3) for comparisons.


You can do it this way, but it's too complicated as you would have to edit the view each time you want to apply a different rule when creating a new autoplaylist.

I'd recommend to enter a query into the Album List's filter field instead, for example:


Once the Album List is filtered, create an autoplaylist from the "All Music" item, or the desired subitem.

Thank you so much Frank! I've got it all working now!

Maybe something on Dynamic Playlists should be added to the wiki or something, once I knew what I was doing it was easy, how do I go about being able to write in the Wiki (set up an account and just tried to edit a page in the Foobar2000 section and it's not happening!)
