Playlists and smart playlists

Applies to nori 0.6. Smart playlists are edited on Android; every client plays them.

Playlists

Create a playlist from a song’s menu or from several selected songs, add and remove songs, and delete it. Playlists live on your server, so every client and every other app sees them. Pin the ones you play most to Home as favorite playlists (kept on that device). M3U and M3U8 files can be imported and exported.

Smart playlists

A smart playlist is a set of rules over your library, worked out on the device from its index. Rules compare a field with a value, and a group joins its rules with all (and) or any (or). The fields include title, album, artist, genre, format, year, length, track and disc number, bitrate, sample rate, bit depth, size, play and skip counts, last played, date added, favorite, downloaded and excluded from mixes. A smart playlist can be limited to a number of songs and sorted, including a random order that stays the same until you ask for a new one.

The editor makes one group of rules; groups inside groups can be written in the playlist’s JSON.
