Help Needed: Customizing Auto-Playlists

Post by beenboundary »

Hi everyone,

I’m having a bit of trouble with setting up auto-playlists and could use some advice. I want to create an auto-playlist that includes tracks from specific genres and artists but also excludes any songs that are already in other playlists.

Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:

Include Tracks from Specific Genres: I want the playlist to pull in songs from genres like Rock and Jazz.
Filter by Artists: Only include tracks from a selected list of artists.
Exclude Songs Already in Other Playlists: Ensure that any track that is already part of another playlist does not appear in this new auto-playlist.
I’ve set up some basic rules but am struggling to get the exclusion part working correctly. Is there a way to configure these settings effectively, or are there specific filters or criteria I should be using?

Any guidance or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,
Lowlander

What have you setup so far as Criteria in the AutoPlaylist?

You'd set Match to All, and Criteria to:
- Genre equals x, y, z
- Artist equals a, b, c
= Playlist is not 1, 2, 3
