Guidance on Creating Smart Playlists

Hi everybody. I have been trying to create a smart playlist with all the recordings available by the conductor François-Xavier Roth, which Roon tells me amount to 58 albums, but I haven’t been able to create a playlist of anything more than the tracks I already have in my Storage.

Could anybody provide me with step-by-step instructions, which would then serve as a template for creating similar smart playlists.

Like Focus, SPLs only apply to your library

Thank you. That reassures me I wasn’t doing it wrong. So maybe a further tweak would be to extend smart playlists to music on Qobuz and Tidal.

This would require Roon to be able to search the metadata of all 100 million tracks on Tidal/Qobuz.

If it could, this would solve many other issues as well. However, it can’t do this on a little local computer, which is why the library / non-library distinction exists in the first place. Making it possible would probably require moving the Roon database into the cloud, where hardware is less limited.

You can find a selection of other similar limitations in this discussion:
