## SmartPlaylist Description
SmartPlaylist is the most advanced playlist generator for iPod/iPhone/iPad with many unique features.

SmartPlaylist uses the titles stored in your Music library on your device.

There are 26 smart playlists (SmartPlaylist A-Z) which you can use and name as you wish.

In each SmartPlaylist you can combine more than 20 search rules to filter and sort your iTunes music library. These rules can be saved in iCloud.

Available search criteria:
● Text search: Genre, Grouping, Composer, Artist, Album-Artist, Album, Title, Comments, Lyrics and/or iTunes-Playlist
Search for exact matches („is equal to“), for any partial matches („contains“) or use wildcards („is like“ ?/*).
Use logical operators to unite (" OR “), intersect (" AND “) or exclude (“ NOT “) certain songs
Example: The rule "Genre contains blu OR zz" will give you all your blues and jazz songs in 1 playlist.
● Numerical search: Rating, Play Count, Skip Count, Duration, Track Number, BPM and/or Year.
● Date search: Added, Last Played, Last Skipped, Released (how many days, weeks, months or years ago)
You can search for values less than, equal to / from-to (=) or more than the limit you set
● Property search: is in compilation, is in iCloud, is music video (all/yes/no)


The titles loaded in SmartPlaylist also become the playback queue of the Music app and the now playing title is also shown in the lock screen and the control center, where you can play/pause, fast-forward, skip, etc.

There are many settings to configure, e.g. what search rules you want to use and what info you want to see in the list of titles.

General procedure:
1. Select a smart playlist (a)
2. Set the search rules (a)
3. Tap „Load titles“ (a)
4. Scroll through the list of matching titles (b)
5. Press on a title in the list to play it or tap to see all its details (c).


a) THE MAIN SCREEN: The search rules of a smart playlist (e.g. „SmartPlaylist A“)
● Use „Menu“ to open the settings and help, copy/paste rules and backup/restore with iCloud
● Use „(i)“ to open the details of a search rule (there, use „(+)“ to open the pick list for genre, artist, etc.)
● Use „All/Active“ to toggle between showing all search rules and showing only the active rules (yellow)
● Browse your music collection hierarchically by Genres > Composers > Artists > Albums > Titles
● Use list operations to add, subtract or intersect the results of SmartPlaylists
● Limit the number of titles per artist or per album, or limit the list to x minutes, hours or titles 
● Sort with multiple criteria, e.g. 1. by Artist, 2. by Rating (per artist), 3. by playCount (per rating)
● With „Show only“ you can load another SmartPlaylist while the previous list is still playing in the background 
● If you do not set any search rules „Load titles“ will load all titles in your music library


b) THE LIST VIEW: The list of titles matching the search rules
● Long-press on a title to play/pause
● Pinch in/out to change the row height (S-M-L) and toggle the display of the artwork
● Use quick-search to search within the loaded list or mark certain titles
● Scroll to the now playing song in the list with „Now playing“


c) THE DETAIL VIEW: All the details/infos for the selected song 
● If you have selected a song which is not being played, you can scroll up and down through the title list with „^“ / „v“
● When you are in the „Now playing mode“, „^“ / „v“ will play the previous or next song, respectively. 
● Enlarge the cover artwork up to full screen (tap/double-tap or pinch in/out)
● Tap on a line to open the values in a text view where you can copy the text or look up the definition of words, etc. (e.g. in the lyrics)
● Add the selected song to another smart playlist or remove it from the current one (i.e. make exceptions to the rules, which can also be edited in the corresponding search rule)
● Load all songs with the same genre, artist, year, etc. as the selected song

## SmartPlaylist Reviews in United States

### *---- "Not as good as it looks"
There are a lot of filters but it’s very limited. Having only a single value per filter is bad design. I want to sort by date added and load within a date range but that’s not possible. Waste of money.
-- IHAYCHU, 2024-12-18

### ***** "Powerful tool for weighted playlists"
I've been using this powerful app for years to build weighted playlists of my music, where higher rated songs play more often than lower rated ones. (This cannot be done via iTunes on an iiPhone as Apple Music does not support live updating of any but the simplest smart playlists. Like any powerful tool, there's a learning curve but it's well worth the invested time. The developer is active and responsive. Great app. Highly recommended.
-- XSteveC, 2024-08-29

### ***** "Bought it Twice"
Returning to the Apple ecosystem and had to buy this app again because I couldn’t remember my old Apple ID. Well worth the money, this is a must have app for me, I love being able to create smart playlists on the go. The UI isn’t great but it works perfectly when you learn how to use it.
-- The “Can You Hear Me Now?” Guy, 2024-06-21

### *---- "Was a great app now abandoned"
This was my go to app for managing my music playlist. However the developer stopped updating and now after last 2 Apple iOS 14 updates now cause the app to just crash every time I try to load a list. Hopefully the developer will revisit and make fixes as this app allowed you to manage your loaded music in various custom lists with many options for filtering and sorting.
-- Brainmusic Cube, 2021-09-23

### ***** "I love it!"
Being able to create smart playlists on my phone is incredible, especially since you can’t create smart playlists on Macs anymore because of the lack of iTunes. I’ve tried a couple of different smart playlist apps but this is the only one that has the flexibility and scope of options that lets me create exactly the playlists I want. The UI is a little weird but it’s not difficult once you get the hang of it. If you want to create iTunes style smart playlists on your phone, I HIGHLY recommend this app!
-- 1337L1ck3r, 2020-11-05

### ***** "Simply the Best"
I have been using the App Store since it debuted, and this is the first time I have ever written a review. That is because this app is so good and so unsung that I want to do what I can to help the developer have more success. There is no other playlist tool available for the iPhone that is this powerful, this full featured, and this customizable. On top of that, the price is more than fair and there is no subscription, which is increasingly rare. The one thing I found lacking in Smartplaylist was the ability to save a smartplaylist as a playlist in the Music app. And now the developer has added that feature. He could not be making much money from this, yet he keeps improving it anyway. If there were a way to offer cash tips through the App Store, I would do so in a heartbeat.
-- maffy66, 2020-09-21

### ***** "Unique feature"
This app does at least one thing others don’t: finds tunes that belong to two or more playlists (using the List Operation = field). Thank you, developer!
-- b-gee, 2019-08-15

### ***** "Bug with v12.1.4"
I really like this app and have been using it for years. It is an excellent alternative to the  smart playlist capabilities of iTunes, since this actually works.

Recently I had a very minor issue with the app. The developer identified and fixed the issue quickly. Great support!
-- RWS555, 2019-05-21

### ****- "Timer needed"
Please add count down timer to stop playing after xxx minutes
-- Seetom, 2019-05-18

### ***** "You can also rate not playing now tracks"
showing rating of each track in playlist and possibility to rate not playing now track is great also customizable playlist fields like add or remove comment field is awesome.  Wish it had fav heart filter and showing also giving it too and possibility to edit some fields will be super.
