I think I used to have a library under "Music" and another under "Classic Music". The objective is to be able to play in random the entire "everything else not classic" library and not having classic music mixed in that. Having everything "in this folder" showing and then "everything in that folder" is the easiest way I can think of to do this.

I've lost a lot of music due to an external hard drive failure but the tree on the left had side of MM does show me "Music" and "Classic Music". So I think that's the way I used to have it set up. Problem is, I have no clue how I done that... help?

If you have Gold version, you can create a collection with criteria:
"Type - equals - Music"
"Type - doesn't equal - Classical Mussic"

If you have other media you want to exclude, create rules for those too (in same collection > "doesn't - podcast", etc.)

This is so true

Actually, to correct myself , just the "Music" type should be all you need.

Yeh, I remembered that's how I used to have stuff set up. But the collection thing also works through tags, so that's probably why I had a classic folder on the tree node. Anyway, it's all fine and easily accessible now, and the collection option that I didn't have before is a handy one. Thanks again!

Initially the Music Collection didn't include Type = Classical Music. This got changes after user feedback and now Music includes both Type = Music and Type = Classical Music by default. Gold users can modify this to fit their personal needs.

Yes, just noticed I have both an option for Classical and Classical Music... well, I tagged everything under Classical, I just need to lump them all together somewhere. It's a PITA to organize and tag big composer collections as there's hundreds of Bach's Messiah etc, autotag is a huge help for everything else but this genre. Something to keep me occupied for months to come

Thanks gents!
