Hi Barry, liking the video clips.

By copy to the moderators - perhaps these video clips can be collected in one place for the future benefit of old and new users!

You can also do this on the fly.

[list]In [url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/yoa6hic6ru5ubfs/filtering%20on%20the%20fly.mp4?dl=0]this small video[/url] I am am in the AllTracks sub-node of a Collection[/list]
[list]the display lists all of my tracks[/list]
[list]I have clicked at any random point in the main panel, which gives "focus" to that main panel[/list]
[list]I start typing ... which, as you can see, auto-opens a a search widget in the tool bar[/list]
[list]what I typed was [b]rating: 2..[/b][/list]
[list]this filters the display to just tracks which have a rating of 2 or more[/list]

Only works in:
[list]the AllTracks sub-node of a collection[/list]
[list]or when you press Ctrl+F (or click the magnifying glass at the far right of the tool bar) [/list]
[list]the difference between these two locations, is in the first one you are just searching within the current Collection, and the second one searches your whole database[/list]
[list]the video jerks around a bit, but if you are typing you won't notice that :) [/list]

This can be done with Collections. In a Collection you can set Criteria of which files to include or exclude. This includes Rating: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Playback_Rules/5.0

I would really enjoy an extra library setting that will ignore files less than 3 star ratings, for example. This is beneficial for people who like to have complete albums, but only listen to several songs from an album. It would save a lot of vertical scrolling through the library as well as not play songs that we do not like.

This can be run continuously, on start up, or manually, and I don't see it being that resource intensive at all.
