Filter command

Quick Filter

Only tracks marked as selected are left in database.

Treeview Filter

Database filtering by tree of artists, albums, years, genres and folders.

Advanced Filter

Tracks are filtered according to 1-4 criterias, which you can freely combine together by AND/OR operators. Created filters can be saved under chosen name and applied later from menu or from the same screen.

Available as button  as well.

Notes about criterias:

  • "=" in numerical fields means usual "equals", in string fields means characters matching from field beginning - remaining characters must not match, for example
    - "Year = 199" filters 90's (field "Year" is handled as string).
    - "Artist = Jack Brown" finds both "Jack Brown" and "Jack Brown & His Brothers"
  • "<>" in numerical fields means usual "less than and bigger than", in text fields means different characters from field beginning - remaining characters must not match, for example
    - "Year <> 199" skips 90's in database.
    - "Artist <> Jack Brown" skips both "Jack Brown" and "Jack Brown & His Brothers"
  • "Exact match" means that whole field must match to the string.
  • "<",">",">=","<-" in numerical fields mean usual "less than, bigger than...". Those operators can be used in string fields to limit the database, for example
    - "Artist >= M" only leaves all artists from letter M to letter Z.
  • "Includes" means, that searched string can be found everywhere in the field (for example in lyrics)
  • "Doesn't include" means opposite of previous.

    • Set filter off

    Deactivates filter. This function can be found on right menu button click on button Filter or from Advanced Filter screen.
