I would like to generate a collection from mp3-metatags. Source are different folders incl. subfolders, so search must be recursive.
For example: Create a collection including all MP3's with genre "pop". Or creating from all songs released between 1990 and 1999 (by entering search-tags as parameter "1990,1991,1992,...,1999", so presets would also be possible).
If someone is interested and has got time to write such a script... thank you very much!
Isn't that already possible with advanced search and "Music" filter (which has a "Genre", "Release date" etc. options)?
I don't have a "music" filter and also don't find "genre" in advanced search.
Ah, looked at presets... sorry.
How to use that in a button and write to a specified collection, please?
And how to filter by year? There's only release date.
Sorry for asking again, but have some time left over today 
:
How to filter "year" and not "release date" (prefered as commandline for a button)?
I'm unsure what you're aiming for with the command line. You can't generate filters on-the-fly via commands at the moment (maybe one day, though). So if you want to automate this kind of search using buttons, you will need to create some pre-made filters for the command to use.
Within a filter, the way to do it was shown in my screenshot above.
Ok, so using presets, but my main question was how to filter by tag "year"? It's missing in "music"
Not to interfere or anything, but what's the difference? What else would you put for "year" other than "year of its release"?
Nothing will be found, because "release date" and "year" are two different tags (and normaly "year" is tagged):
BTW a cool and rare song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvjVDBfmJZc 
I didn't realise there was a separate release date field, sorry.
I'm not sure you can filter by year in that case, but we can add it.
Yes please, because I like to filter e.g. 80's, 90's,... and have tagged all files in "year".
But I'm a bit confused nobody notices as "year" IMO is more common than "release date" (and who knows the exact release date? ).
