Feature Request: Smart playlists #59

Open FabriceColin opened 5 years ago

FabriceColin commented 5 years ago

I like to listen to albums released in a particular year. I could make a new playlist for each year and manually add each album, but this is tedious. It would be great if Unplayer had support for playlists that are updated dynamically based on tags, for instance a "Released in 2019" playlist would show me all albums with tag Year=2019. Whenever I add tracks to the library, the playlist would update itself and new tracks that match would be added without manual intervention. This smart playlist would show albums and ideally would allow sorting them by artist name asc/desc or by album name asc/desc.

I could add 'Years' category to library page, similar to 'Genres', which would group track by year. Is that what you want?

A 'Years' category (for album release year) would be a good start. Going forward, it would be neat to take other properties into account, for instance 'Genre'.
