Hi Peter, what you have described are queries that you can do from the collection search bar. So you have AND, OR, NOT and meta queries. I want a playlist that is half filled with songs.... Actually we already have the problem here. How can you say: half and half in the search bar? Also conditions that do not rely on a meta tag (e.g. a song is in the echo nest similar artist list) or are position dependent (e.g. the next track from a different artist. Or from a similar one) fall flat. Peter, did you try out the branch? Please do, and play a little bit around.
