16.2.2 Creating Smart Playlists

You can create playlists that automatically add and remove songs based on criteria you specify. For
example, a smart playlist can contain songs you rated as five stars but that you haven't listened to for
six months. Another smart playlist can contain all songs published in 2006 that you have labeled
with the Classical genre.
Helix Banshee automatically updates all smart playlists when a change is made to your music
library. If you import new songs, Helix Banshee checks to see if they match any of your available
smart playlists. When applicable, Helix Banshee also updates your smart playlists if you just
listened to a song or updated a song's metadata.
Creating a Smart Playlist
1 In Helix Banshee, click Music > New Smart Playlist.
2 Specify a name for the smart playlist, then select the criteria for songs in this playlist to match.
