Hello, I would like to filter my music library by different genres in order to create a playlist (e.g. a playlist of all albums whose genre contains “Electro”). But I can’t find any way to filter it accordingly. Even the “advanced filters” are no help at all!
Does anyone have any idea how I could do this?
Genre filters cannot be evaluated with the “contains” filter, you will need to specify each genre using the “match any” condition like this using Advanced filters:
You will have to add each genre from the list that contains “Electro” in your case.
The sucks 
Thank you
An Album-View in a playlist also doesn’t exist? 
Or an Overview over Genres like in roon or iTunes for example?
You can use a Collection for this instead, if that’s the view you want.
Plexamp has this, it’s the dedicated music player.
What you mean with collection? Don’t know this feature :-/
When you create a filter you have the option to create a playlist or a collection. A playlist will be a flat list of tracks. A collection can be collections of either albums, artists or tracks and I think will be what you’re talking about above.
E.g. from my example filter earlier:
Ahhh okay 
Will check this later
Thx
But there is no possibility to select multiple albums/genres to create a collection out of this :-/
but making stupid jokes of the intelligence of the users. THATS WHAT I LIKE!!! Unable to make good work, but gossip about the users that has to annoy with this stuff! >:(
You can create a smart or regular collection/playlist from an advanced filter. The „smart“ versions will automatically add new items (songs, albums, artists) matching the filter criteria.
While you’re in the regular library view, you can multi-select items and assign them to a playlist, using the add-to button in the multi-select action bar at the top of the library.
Alternatively you can click the pencil from the action bar. On the edit-dialog, switch to the Tags section. There you can assign the selection to an existing collection or create a new one.
This will create a regular playlist/collection respectively with the selected content.
