$info(encoding) IS lossless doesn't seem to work.
How to show only all lossless files in library (no lossy files)?

edit: didn't know about this:

QUOTE
$info(name)
Returns value of technical information field called name.
For convenience, the %__name% alias is also available.


So
CODE
%__encoding% IS lossless
works!

In library search $ functions need to be enclosed in quotation marks, eg:
CODE
"$info(encoding)" IS lossless

didn't know about that... is there somewhere a complete documentation about creating autoplaylists?

on foobar2000 wiki there is no such article:

For your particular problem, it's documented in the query syntax helpfile in your foobar directory.

"<field> and <string> in HAS and IS expressions should be enclosed in double quotation marks (”) if they include spaces or parentheses."

Zarkon,

I already know that, but I just said that I think that the autoplaylist formatting is poorly documented.

For instance, I had to manually figure out that the parentheses are supported.
CODE
a AND b OR c OR d

is not the same as
CODE
a AND (b OR c OR d)


also i didn't know about ALL keyword until i read it somewhere on this forum.

It would be great to have these things documented, not just for me, but for all the users who aren't familiar with this. And I think that the autoplaylist documentation is missing from the foobar2000 wiki.

jeremija,

autoplaylists have no own syntax. They result from normal Media Library search queries which are documented well in your foobar folder as Zarkon said or for instance here.

Autoplaylists are nothing else than
  • ML search queries you told to be repeated automatically,
  • displayed in their own
  • read-only playlists.
So to formulate your search pattern for an autoplaylist you can rely on the two mentioned references (Title Formatting Syntax Reference and Query Syntax Help).

Robertina.
