First of all Amarok Kicks ****!! I use it exclusively to play any of my music.

Is there a way to make Amarok recognize some custom genre names I\'ve created. I need this to create smart play lists. when I put my custom name under the conditions my list comes up empty.....

Also, is there any support for the ipod/itunes \"star rating\"? I hate itunes but my ipod is full of smart play lists that use the ratings. And I also think it is quite convenient.

Any ideas.....

and thanks for the program

odd that your custom genres aren\'t showing up - all mine have always shown. amaroK doesn\'t have any \"pre-defined\" list or anything. what version of amaroK are you using, and what did you use to set your tags?

It\'s version 1.3.7 and I must have used either itunes or Dr.tag (windows)

I can use all the custom Genres I\'ve created. Just not under the smart play lists. Any one Have the same problem?

I guess there is no Ipod support in the \"star rating\" manner. Feature request?

oh, just thought of something. Make sure the name of your smart playlist isn\'t the same as an existing genre name, or it will be over-ridden by the automatic smart playlist of the same name (found under the \"collection|genre\" list). Also, if your custom smart playlist contains multiple rules that cancel each other out, change the \"match ALL conditions\" to \"match ANY condition\"

Wierd. I had a smart play list named test and in it was set up as genre is mellow. but when I loaded it nothing was there. also the autocomplete genre did not show any \"custom\" genres. I changed it to genre contains mellow, and it worked! Now it just works fine. But the custom genres still do not auto complete. is this the same for you?

no, sorry. mine have always autocompleted :blink:

****. once I\'d posted that, I thought I\'d better check again after a niggle in the back of my head...

and I take back all the posts where I said they autocomplete. I must have just assumed I was mistaken about the genre names, and moved on to something else. Probably worth a bug report.

Cool, thanks. so I\'m not crazy after all.
