Smart Playlist Exclusion Assistance
Hi Kids,
I've recently gone completely berserk over the smart playlist feature and have hit a (relatively minor) snag. I'm careful with genre tags & use groupings for sub-categorizing which has enabled me to make a ton of really cool playlists. What would make them even more cool is if I could exclude certain artists/groupings: this is possible in a "match all" scenario using "artist is not" etc, but for multiple rules that conflict (ie a playlist including more than one genre) I must use "match any." If I add the rule "artist is not Skinny Puppy" the smart playlist is populated with everything in my entire library that is not Skinny Puppy, at which point it's not really a playlist anymore. Any clever suggestions as to how I can exclude something from a "match any rule" smart playlist? Thanks for any help!
