Add "Collection" tagging for Music Tracks

I know that I can add artists and albums to collections, but there’s a need to be more granular. For example, I’d like to be able to create a smart playlist of tracks that I have tagged with the word “karaoke” to indicate that I enjoy singing that song. I can tag an album, but that doesn’t give me what I’m actually looking for.

I have worked around this with a “standard” playlist but each time I want to add one I have to add it to the playlist and then manually sort it into the position where I want it to appear (this could involve me sorting it above thousands of other tracks…).

I’m currently using version 3.2.1 so if this is already implemented in a newer version, please accept my thanks and feel free to close the request.

Use a smart playlist…

  • Show your music library
  • Switch to „titles“ view
  • Filter by „custom“
  • Apply your criteria, e.g. title contains „karaoke“
  • Optionally: sort as you like
  • Create a playlist right from that view

The new playlist should show a little gear icon in its top-left corner, identifying it as a smart playlist

If you add more „karaoke“ suffixes to your music, those titles should automatically be added. However I noticed this might take a moment. Seems like there’s a regular job which updates those playlists every few minutes.

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (smart playlist), duplicate (music track tagging)
