What you really want is having labels and smart playlists back. Then you can exclude certain media types based on a label. This is on our list of features to implement. However right now we have more important issues to deal with before Amarok 2.0 release. What is the status on labels now? As far as I have seen it's not implemented in Amarok 2.2, is it? But maybe it will make it into Amarok 2.3? Unfortunately it did indeed not make it into 2.2 :( If you know someone who would like to work on it for 2.3 let me know. More important issues? What's more important than your killer feature which no other media player I've found to date has? The definition of a "killer feature" differs a lot with the use case :) *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** *** Bug 198098 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Reopening Is anyone working on this? I think dedicating a release cycle to adding the missing features that Amarok 1.4 had would go a long way towards getting remaining 1.4 users (like myself) to switch. (copying comment from the dupe'd bug) I think if you read forum comments about "Why I can't switch to Amarok 2" this is way up there. Let me explain why this is preventing me from switching. I have a media PC with ~8000 songs. I have probably have of them tagged as "night" which means I can listen to them while I fall asleep. I obviously have another 4000 songs that are "hard" enough to keep me awake. I have dynamic playlists in Amarok 1.4 for both my whole music collection and these night songs. Those also take into account things like ratings and playcounts, etc. I can't switch until I can get the same functionality or some other way of doing what I need to restored. That's basically my situation. I have ~3000 songs in my collection, and I use a system of labels and ratings to group them into different, overlapping categories. For example, I have a playlist for "songs I like", in general (decent rating). I also have a few playlists for "songs I like of a specific type" (rating and label), and variants for "XXX least played songs" so I can listen to the ones I get least often (these work using sorting by playcount and a count limit). There's also a playlist for songs I haven't rated, so I can listen around and rate the ones I like, and later go over them with the "least played songs" lists. I also sync these dynamic playlists to my iPhone (they get converted to static playlists as they are transferred). Not having labels removes a lot of the functionality that I use every day. I'm goning to look into this. There will be no changes in the official trunk before 2.2.1 because of a string freeze (I'll have to add a few strings). 2.2.1 is going to be out in about 2-3 weeks. So hang on a while ;o). Labels support was added and is available in the GIT Version. First stable release with label support will be 2.2.2.
