In my world, it is safe to say that if I have skipped a song 20 times, I simply do not like that track and I never want to (in)voluntarily hear that song ever again.
When I make Auto Playlists, they are generally pretty simple. Everything by a specific artist. Everything for a specific genre. I don't really get too crazy with the number of rules.
Sometimes I forget to put certain caveats into these auto playlists.
I'm not a fan of live recordings. As it is, when I stumble across a track that is a live recording, I toss LIVE into one of the custom fields I set aside for that purpose, and end up setting my auto playlist to include "live recording is unknown." If it's blank, it makes it into the list. If it has Live or Yes or Horrible Audio or TMT (Too Much Treble) or just random gibberish like "dhrhehjfd" it does not get added to the playlist
It would be really cool if there would be a global setting for auto playlists. Below are rules that I try to remember to add into my auto playlists
Do not add tracks with skip count higher than X
-or maybe do not add tracks with skip counts higher than play count
Do not add tracks if custom field (number or name, as there tends to be inconsistency between MMW and addons as to what descriptor the user sees in relation to the custom field) is known/unknown
Only add (or do not add) the following Types to auto playlists.
Then in the auto playlist criteria, a toggle for apply/don't apply global autoplaylist settings.
