As the name titles.
Could start using as criterias ID3 tags like Genre.
Cool if it would have the ability to exlude like !Genre="abc"

I have been thinking to add support for genres at some point. I was just thinking that the genres could show up as read-only playlists, below the user-created lists. Of course that would still be somewhat short of "intelligent" playlist, as there would be no way to invert a rule or combine multiple criteria.

The biggest blocker in adding the genres support is that we would need to scan the genre tag and save it into the database. That means that all the old users would need to rescan their library after the update. Sometimes it's unavoidable but at least I wouldn't want to enforce rescan too often. So if the genres would be added, it might be good idea to try to figure out any other database changes we would need in the near future and try to make those all in one release.

Having auto generated "playlists" based on genre is a good idea.
Please consider having the possibility of user defined but genre based conditions inlcuding a negation. This would enable the scenario "all but". Example, all music files but not Audiobooks...

#779 is related.

Also, I would appreciate a "Recently added" auto-playlist as in "N songs from sorted by date".

This all boils down to generating a playlist based on some "search criterion" and then periodically re-executing the search to keep the playlist up to date.

There is also the issue #903 about the recently added tracks.

The Music v1.9.1 now contains the "Smart playlist" feature which allows the user to generate lists filtered by artists, genres, or play history. It's possible that more criteria will be added later.
