Smartlists
Smartlists fill themselves according to rules, such as “BPM between 124 and 128 and genre contains House”. Here is how to create them and combine rules.

Good to knowLink to “Good to know”
- Archived tracks do not appear in smartlists.
- “Duplicate as playlist” freezes the current state as a normal playlist.
- The smartlist generator (Tools → “Smartlist generator …” or Library tools → “Smartlist groups”) creates several smartlists at once, with a preview.
- Not every target format knows smartlists. Serato 4, for example, gets them as labelled static crates.
