Syncing - Insufficient Filters vs. Inability to Reserve Free Space [#21165]

If this has been asked/noted before, mea culpa and please link me to the conversation!

Syncing in and of itself is working reasonably fine for me, but I'm trying to sync to my phone and I'm running into a bit of a conundrum.

I want to reserve X amount of free space on my phone for obvious reasons, but I also want to use more than one filter (specifically I'd like to be able to include all music of specific genres while excluding music from certain artists). If I try to sync by music, it doesn't appear that I can use multiple filters?

Alright, so I'll create a playlist instead...but on the Playlists tab, it appears there's no option to reserve free space?

Does anyone have a suggestion or solution for this?

Thanks for your help!

AutoPlaylists themselves can be limited in size. This is a limit on total size though, instead of a free space measurement.

Yeah. That would be a workaround I suppose, but not really a solution.

It doesn't seem as though adding the option to reserve free space when syncing playlists should be a big ask? But I don't do a lot of coding.

If this does get added, it will be a while in the future from now. So for now you'll need to rely on the size limits AutoPlaylists have.
