Why do you use time_modified?

I could not think of a better alternative. Ultimately I would like to use something like: Year after 52 weeks before today. time_added does not really make sense either. If I added all my 1950 songs today I really would not like those songs to be played in my filter “Songs newer then 1 year”. I figured massaging the OS time_modified field would be easier. Is there a better method for creating this filter that I am missing?

I wonder why you didn’t just copy one of the other decade examples?

I did not see the Wiki until after seeing the mt-daapd.playlist file. I was copying the examples from the .playlist file.

Restarting the firefly server, and the DAAP client actually did finally produce some results. Not necessarily the results I expected but some results none the less.

Either I have not figured out how to maximize the smart playlist query grammar, or I am needing more features. Although the WIKI is very informative, it did not help me achieve how I would like to use the smart playlist feature.

Thank you for your response.
