Playlists as selection-criterium in smart-playlists
Hi, I'm looking some time for a replacement of itunes and now with this new version of songbird I'm enthousiatic.
What I use in itunes is smart playlists that use the fact a song is in a normal playlist or not. With this option I can create CD's from some big playlists.
Now in songbird I cannot select a playlist as a criterium.
So my idea is to add playlists as a selection-criterium in smart playlists.
regards and success with songbird

Inappropriate?Hey there, thanks for checking us out, and taking the time to get in touch! I'm really happy with how far we were able to get with Smart Playlists in this last release. That said, they're not 100% done. We will definitely be adding the ability to select items that belong to a Playlist, Smart Playlist, or Subscription at some point, but we're not sure exactly when that will be yet. I'm hoping for the next release. Thanks again. -
Inappropriate?This (or the ability to nest logical arguments) makes for a robust smart playlist feature. For example my iTunes smart playlists consists of three layers of smart playlists.
The first group consists of a playlist of my top rated songs, a playlist of recently added songs, and a playlist of songs that haven't been played in a while. The second layer is one playlist that combines the songs from the 1st layer of playlists, and the 3rd layer consists of playlists that filter criteria from layer 2 for my iPod or for other specific purposes.
This setup insures that the music on my 3rd tier is ALWAYS fresh and is ALWAYS an interesting mix of favorites and unfamiliar music.
I will be very happy when Songbird can function at that layer of complexity - and an option to select a playlist to feed into a smart playlist is all it will take.

I use a similar setup in iTunes, and the lack of this support is my only real issue with Songbird. I hope this is in the pipeline for 1.0.
