Windows Media Player Auto Playlists

Mine's set up like this:



No bad tracks slipping through here, and I've been using this auto playlist for years! [smile]

Thanks benryves!

My bad, I'd set the rating threshold in the 'And alse include' section.

Still a useful post however, as I didn't know that the 'Randomize play order' existed - you have to click 'more...' The normal shuffle didn't seem to shuffle so well so I'm going to try this one out!

I'm curious about your second set of settings, I wouldn't have thought they would have any effect seeing as {tracks with rating >=4} is a subset of {tracks with rating >= 3}. Unless you are trying to get double the number of 4* tracks playing?

Note that that's Auto rating as opposed to My rating. I'll allow 3* or higher tracks that I have blessed myself, but reserve slightly more judgement for the auto rating which tends to pick tracks based on how frequently they've been played.

p.s. curiously enough, all the auto ratings for me are 3* for new tracks, then as soon as they're played once it jumps to 4*, so it's funny if it's different for you!
