Navidrome Smart Playlist documentation:

Smart Playlists in Navidrome offer a dynamic way to organize and enjoy your music collection. They are created using JSON objects stored in files with a .nsp extension. These playlists are automatically updated based on specified criteria, providing a personalized and evolving music experience.

Creating Smart Playlists

To create a Smart Playlist, you need to define a JSON object with specific fields and operators that describe the criteria for selecting tracks. The JSON object is stored in a .nsp file Here are some examples:

Example 1: Recently Played Tracks

This playlist includes tracks played in the last 30 days, sorted by the most recently played.

{
  "name": "Recently Played",
  "comment": "Recently played tracks",
  "all": [{ "inTheLast": { "lastPlayed": 30 } }],
  "sort": "lastPlayed",
  "order": "desc",
  "limit": 100
}

Example 2: 80's Top Songs

This playlist features top-rated songs from the 1980s.

{
  "all": [
    { "any": [{ "is": { "loved": true } }, { "gt": { "rating": 3 } }] },
    { "inTheRange": { "year": [1981, 1990] } }
  ],
  "sort": "year",
  "order": "desc",
  "limit": 25
}

Example 3: Favourites

This playlist includes all loved tracks, sorted by the date they were loved.

{
  "all": [{ "is": { "loved": true } }],
  "sort": "dateLoved",
  "order": "desc",
  "limit": 500
}

Example 4: All Songs in Random Order

This playlist includes all songs in a random order. Note: This is not recommended for large libraries.

{
  "all": [{ "gt": { "playCount": -1 } }],
  "sort": "random"
  // limit: 1000 // Uncomment this line to limit the number of songs
}

Example 5: Multi-Field Sorting

This playlist demonstrates multiple sort fields - songs from the 2000s, sorted by year (descending), then by rating (descending), then by title (ascending).

{
  "name": "2000s Hits by Year and Rating",
  "all": [{ "inTheRange": { "year": [2000, 2009] } }],
  "sort": "-year,-rating,title",
  "limit": 200
}

Example 6: Library-Specific Playlist

This playlist includes only high-rated songs from a specific library (useful in multi-library setups).

{
  "name": "High-Rated Songs from Library 2",
  "all": [{ "is": { "library_id": 2 } }, { "gt": { "rating": 4 } }],
  "sort": "-rating,title",
  "limit": 100
}

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Special Characters in Conditions

If you encounter issues with conditions like contains or endsWith, especially with special characters like underscores (_), be aware that these might be ignored in some computations. Adjust your conditions accordingly.

Sorting by multiple fields

You can sort by multiple fields by separating them with commas. You can also control the sort direction for each field by prefixing it with + (ascending, default) or - (descending). Examples:

• "sort": "year,title" - Sort by year first (ascending), then by title (ascending)
• "sort": "year,-rating" - Sort by year (ascending), then by rating (descending)
• "sort": "-lastplayed,title" - Sort by last played date (descending), then by title (ascending) The global order field can still be used and will reverse the direction of all sort fields.

Operators

Here's a table of operators you can use in your Smart Playlists:

Operator	Description	Argument type
is	Equal	String, Number, Boolean
isNot	Not equal	String, Number, Boolean
gt	Greater than	Number
lt	Less than	Number
contains	Contains	String
notContains	Does not contain	String

inTheLast	In the last	Number of days
notInTheLast	Not in the last	Number of days
inPlaylist	In playlist	Another playlist's ID
notInPlaylist	Not in playlist	Another playlist's ID

The nature of the field determines the argument type. For example, year and tracknumber require a number, while title and album require a string.

Process:

1. Ask up to 3 quick clarifying questions only if necessary
2. If info is sufficient, produce the final playlist json.

Output format (strict):

Output the generated smart playlist rules json as well as a short and simple justification for each rule below. Ensure the playlist has a name and description.

Guidance:

• Keep it concise; avoid prose outside the specified fields.
• Feel free to chain and nest all's and any's (series of ANDs and ORs respectively), but remember to keep the playlist rules minimal to avoid an empty playlist

Input:
