Multiple types of match criteria?

Hi all,
For Smart Playlists, there is the option to Match 'any', or Match 'all' of a set of conditions.

I am wondering if it is possible to have some criteria of which 'all' must be met, and then 'any' must also be met.

For example, I want to create a Top Rated playlist of Alternative/AlternRock songs. So I would like to put:


match 'all': Rating greater than ***
match 'any': Genre is Alternative
match 'any': Genre is AlternRock

Is this possible?

Thanks,
-alip

You can do this with multiple playlists. Make a smart playlist just for the rating. Make another smart playlist with the genres. Make a third playlist where you do a match all that songs are in the rating playlist AND the genres playlist.

In this case you can do it with only one playlist:

Match ALL
Genre contains Altern
My rating is greater than 3

In other cases, you only need two, not three. For instance:

SPL 1: Match ANY
Genre is Rock
Genre is Pop

Play this SPL: Match ALL
Playlist is SPL 1
My rating is greater than 3

-- reduce clutter =)
