🔍 Smart Filtering & Playlist Creation
Filter your entire library by any combination of tags, ratings, energy levels, and BPM ranges. Then create Spotify playlists from your filtered results—or make them "smart" so they auto-update forever.
What You Can Do:
- Include/Exclude tags: Click tags once to include, twice to exclude
- Filter logic: "ALL" mode (tracks must have all selected tags) or "ANY" mode (tracks need at least one tag)
- Star rating filters: Show only 4-5 star tracks, or any range you want
- Energy level filters: Filter by intensity (1-10 scale)
- BPM ranges: Create tempo-specific playlists (e.g., 120-140 BPM for workouts)
- Create Playlist: Generate a Spotify playlist from filtered results
- Smart Playlists: Auto-updating playlists that add new songs when they match your criteria
- Play All: Start listening to filtered results immediately
Find all 4-5 star tracks tagged "Chill" + "Electronic", exclude "Vocals", BPM 80-110, energy level 3-6
→ Perfect focus music playlist
Filtering tracks and creating playlists from results
🧠 Smart Playlists (Auto-Updating)
The killer feature. Create playlists that automatically update when new songs match your criteria. Set your filters once, and every future track you tag that matches gets added automatically—forever.
How It Works:
- Step 1: Set your criteria (tags, ratings, energy, BPM)
- Step 2: Create a Smart Playlist with those filters
- Step 3: Tag new music as you discover it
- Magic: New songs that match your criteria automatically get added to the playlist
Create a Smart Playlist: 5 stars + Funky + Dance + Daytime + No Vocals
→ Every future 5-star funky dance track with no vocals automatically appears in this playlist
→ No manual playlist management, ever
Smart playlists update themselves automatically when new songs match your criteria
