iTunes playlist conundrum in Plexamp

[tom80H]

I take it you won’t be able to filter your Plex library based on if a song was purchased from iTunes or not

As for “not intuitive” – I tend to disagree.
Personally I find the Apple Music / iTunes filtering clunky as all attributes are dumped on you alphabetically while Plex (especially Plexamp) group them for the various tiers of a song (artist / album / track).
That being said and given your screenshot isn’t answering what you’re trying to filter which you can’t do in Plex Web or Plexamp.

Some iTunes specific stuff

There’s a few filter options specific to iTunes based on how iTunes manages media.

• Album Favorite / Suggest Less and [Track] Favorite / Suggest Less
• Cloud Status
• Purchased
• Media Kind is implied in Plex as you’re dealing with media of a particular library
• Video Rating, Sort Show and Description apply to other media types
• Grouping – seems to be a free-text field in iTunes; probably matches Plex’s Label which can only be filtered in the web app.

Open Features in Plex/Plexamp

Plex currently has no concept of…

• Checked items ^[9][10]
• Composer (therefore also no ´Sort Composer`)
• Movement (Name, Number), and Work

Plex supports filtering by library folders in the web app, but has no concept of filtering by the exact path of a file (Location)
