I have a smart playlist for soundtrack that is set to only show tracks rated 3 or above not played in the last 4 months, which is synced to my phone. It’s limited to 4 hours of music.

Played tracks **are not removed** from the downloads in PlexAmp, even though when loading the playlist in the Plex client (or even PlexAmp), the tracks that have been played are indeed filtered out. I have a similar playlist for my non-soundtrack music, which works just fine. Played tracks are removed, and replaced by other tracks on refresh.

The only difference I can see between the two situations is that the soundtrack playlist currently does not have enough tracks to fill the 4 hour limit restriction for PlexAmp’s sync settings, while the non-soundtrack playlist has excess tracks. **However** I have seen the non-soundtrack playlist “empty itself” when I was playing lots of music and eventually end up empty when all tracks had been played within the 4 months and eventually refill itself as tracks were re-added after the expected time had passed - so why is the soundtrack playlist not doing this?

Screenshots of the playlist filters (not sure if helpful, seeing as they actually work as intended in Plex.
