Let me explain my situation.
I have greater than 40,000 songs in my database, and roughly 200 regular playlists. Every song I'll want to pick from to create the AutoPlaylists will be in one or more of those 200 playlists. The music is filed using the following format:
Code: Select all
D:\MP3 Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track #> <Title>
Code: Select all
Emerson, Lake & Palmer; Keith Emerson; Greg Lake; Carl Palmer
For example, I wanted to create an AutoPlaylist for Emerson, Lake & Palmer and related. Here is what I did for the Emerson, Lake & Palmer AutoPlaylist:
Code: Select all
Search: Music
Match All of the following criteria
Playlist is All Physical Playlists
Match Any of the following criteria:
Artist equals Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Artist equals Keith Emerson
Artist equals Greg Lake
Artist equals Carl Palmer
Artist equals Peter Sinfield
Sort by Date A-Z, Album A-Z
Is what I did the recommended way to do this? Is there a better way that performs better, or maybe is recommended for other reasons?
Also, FYI, not that there is anything I think should be done, but during this major edit I've had a few MMW stack traces, though none where I can pinpoint a particular set of steps to reproduce, and I thoroughly confused MMA to the point it was in an infinite loop trying to update the library. I had to do the uninstall / delete the database / format the SD card / reinstall / resync shuffle (not completed yet).
Thanks in advance for reading through all of this. Hopefully it made sense.
