Advanced filter functionality / Drag'n'Drop the universe
I think the following changes would increase Songbird's usability. Given that I'm totally no developer, I'm sharing my Ideas here, hoping someone could find them useful.
Some Use Cases:
1. The Display Pane as to date shows three tags "track", "artist" and "album"
1.1.1 Alice drags the artist tag which contains $artist and drops it over the Service Pane. A new smart playlist node appears which points to a smart playlist filtered by artist with $artist.
1.1.2 Bob drags the album tag to the service pane and gets a new smart playlist, that filters his library by $album.
1.1.3 track tag similar
1.2.1 Alice drags the artist tag which contains $artist and drops it over the media list. The main pane now shows Alice's respective playlist (library) filtered by artist with $artist.
1.2.2 similar with album
1.2.3 similar with album
1.3 Alice gets the same behavior if she ctrl-clicks any tag in the Service Pane.
2. The media list shows n songs with each m tags.
2.1 Alice drags m5 of n42 and drops it over the Service Pane. That results in a smart playlist as in 1.1
2.3 Alice ctrl-clicks m5 of n42 and gets a filtered playlist as in 1.3
Do you have even more Ideas? Get them coming.
Hope I have made myself understandable even if my English isn't that good.

Inappropriate?There seems to be some good ideas in here, but I'm having trouble interpreting them. Can you expand on them a bit?
