Search Bar / Smart Playlists (ULTRA)

Feature description:

I’d like to propose adding filter chips to the main search bar.

As this is the main search for an entire library I feel the filter targets should include all possible values IE merging the filter chip filter targets from Track, Artist & Album View

Problem solved:

Not really a problem but this does give users a bit of a beefier search method across their entire library.

This could also be used or implemented in the smart playlists view instead & be just as useful.

Brought benefits:

Let’s say I’m looking for a track that has the following

• Artist who plays the Saxaphone
• Album is about Love
• Track is an Interlude

This is a very specific example that utilizes Track, Artist & Album tags but the concept still applies for simpler searches that only utilize 2 of the 3 tag types.

I often find myself not knowing the title of a track / Album a search like this could could be more precise in searching even when your brain is failing to remeber the critical details.

● Making a search that utilizes a Track Tag & an Artist tag or An Album Tag & Artist Tag simultaneously is not currently possible without jumping througha hoop or two. This would change that.

Other application solutions:

 
This to me is similar to the filter bar in MP3TAG. Users can input & filter their files using any & every tag separately or simultaneously.

This is the same feature that Roon has , its called Focus in their software where we can filter with tons of options like

1). Artists having large album art cover or small or medium
2). Albums can be filtered through years , genres
3). Albums /Tracks can be filtered through Flac - which version like 16 bit , 24 bit and stuff , then is it a DSD , WAV , MP3 and stuff
4). Whether the album is Live , EP , Single or a Bootleg and stuff like that ..
And so many options to filter out .

see the ss attached below , they look cool to filter out from stuff

If this cones to symfonium , this feature could be gold !!!

You mean like smart filters ? :wink:

Lol. I just want a set of smartfilters somewhere that includes all the filter tagets available in Track, Artist, & Album View i find myself running into scenarios where i wish i could search across all of them. Smart playlists filters come close but still do not quite cover all the tags

I was answering to ted.

Your need is mostly a duplicate of Create Track Smart Playlist using data in the Album Tags
