Questions / Hierarchical playlists
« on: September 17, 2017, 11:54:54 AM »
Hi MusicBee fans
I've got a couple of questions I've been wanting to ask for a while. I've made up my mind about how I want to display/organise my music in MusicBee and I'm wondering if it's possible. I've been tinkering for a while but to no avail. I'll give you my idea.
I want to make playlists based on genres of music. That's not hard to do, but I also rate all of my music, giving them 1 to 5 stars. Now what I wanna do is the following. Presume I have a main genre of music (I'll take Goatrance as an example) and I want to divide this playlist in subdivisions according to the subgenres like this:
Goatrance
-Oldskool
-Newskool
-Full On
-Nithzonot
-Suomi
-Forest
-Dark
This isn't so hard, I could do this using playlist folders. But what I really want to do is create extra playlists for each subgenre according to the rating I give the songs from the subgenres. Like this:
Goatrance
-***
-**
-Oldskool
-*** (three stars for an oldskool song)
-** (two stars for an oldskool song)
-Newskool
-***
-**
- Full On
-***
-**
And so on.
Set up kinda like an hierarchical structure: Songs from all the subgenre playlists appear in the main playlist (Goatrance) and all three star songs appear in the main three star playlist. But only three star Newskool songs appear in the Newskool three star playlist. If I give a two star song, three stars, it should be transferred to the corresponding three star playlist and no longer show up in the two star playlist. If I click I on, let's say, the Suomi playlist it should display all Suomi songs, regardless of rating, but only two star Suomi songs show up in the corresponding playlist.
I'd like to do this for multiple genres of music: Blues, Metal, EDM, Scores, Classical,... So too that all the all songs with the same rating could appear in one big playlist, regardless of genre and I could choose a genre or subgenre with a rating. Preferably all the rating- and subgenre playlist would be collapsible, leaving only the main genres visible, displaying everything with a couple of clicks.
I've been walking around with this idea for quite a while and this is how I want to do it. But I have no idea if MusicBee is capable of this, and if it is, how I could do it. Thanks in advance for every reply.
