Not filter, but you can sort by duration. Put your music library into Tracks mode, then click on the Duration column. ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/plex/uploads/default/original/3X/d/f/dffa1e4d93b30db538ae6e8a1d7f7e36da84ef5b.png) ---

That doesnt help for creating dynamic playlists. Use case: songs with more than 1 play that are over 30 seconds to be used in a playlist that is sync’d to a device. If a 3 second song plays via shuffle, it immediately gets added and there’s no real way to skip it in time or reset playcount. ---
