One thing to watch out for - this can create automatic playlists that are uneditable by the current playlist editor (they contain more than a single subquery). For an example: select two artists, and then one album - then try to edit it. Basically it's of the form ((artist=A or artist=B) and (album=C)). Unfortunately trying to edit a playlist the the editor can't deal with currently causes RB to throw an assertion and die. I had a patch in my arch branch that fixed this by displaying an error, rather than quitting. I should get around to putting that into cvs. Cheers, James "Doc" Livingston -- Klein bottle for sale.
