Unrated smart playlist, in order to rate tracks.ĥ* Rated Album smart collection, limited to 5 random albums. it just really has a tendency to focus on artists I'm not that interested in, and filled with artists I'm never really in the mood for.ĭamn, that was a lot of typing for a reddit comment lol. I'd say my least-used feature is Mixes For You. added in the last 3 months smart playlistĪnd definitely more that I can't think of.Track radios when I know I'm in the mood for the vibe of a particular song.Albums just straight-through or padded with DJ Stretch.Time Travel Radio (although I use this less because of the out-of-order tracks from greatest hits collections).I do use these playlists for certain scenarios (mostly The Beat when having friends over, or Oldies when the in-laws are over). 5-star = perfect songs, songs that I think are the greatest of all time, songs that I want to hear on radios, etc more than mostĪt the same time, I'm adding the majority of 3+-star songs to one of several playlists (Upbeat Rock, The Beat, The Groove, Oldies, Acoustic Vibes, Super-Chill, Country Greats ).4-star = songs I really like, that stand out from the pack in one way or another.could be songs that I think are good but not great, could be hits that I'm a little sick of, could be songs that I think would be fun to pop up on Library Radio or similar 2-star = only want to hear it in Artist Mix Builder or similar.1-star = only want to hear it when I choose to play the album or a playlist I've added it to.My main method is still my Unrated smart playlist, I love not knowing what I'll hear next, rating and categorizing songs.

I'm still trying out different combos but the star playlists are my usual go-tos. Lot of awesome features but the smart playlists are my #1 feature for plex/plexamp musically. Time to time I dig into the moods and occasionally the sonic highway or time travel. I round it out with 'not listened to in last 2 months' and 'played more than 15 times' for both deep cuts that get missed and the times you want something super familiar on. I also have an 'Unrated' playlist for everything that needs to be categorized.

I usually download either the full discography or top 3-5 rated albums when I find someone new, hence the 1 star option so I can curate things down. I star everything to categorize and then put smart playlists for each 'grouping' with the added criteria 'not played in last two weeks' which helps reduce repetition from poor shuffling.Ģ* - chill music, won't have anything heavy or super loudģ* - standard rock, good for when you have the auxĤ* - catches my ear and worms in, probably the least rigid of the stars
