How do I create a Filtered track group that only includes songs from a specific year?

You can create a Filtered track group for a specific year by going to Manage > Track Groups and selecting Add New Track Group, then choosing Filtered Track Group from the options.

In the Edit Filtered Track Group window, enter a name for your track group (such as "Songs from 1985" or "2010 Hits"). Then set up your filter using the Year field with the equals (=) operation and enter your desired year as the value. For example, to filter tracks from 1985, you would set Field to "Year", Operation to "=", and Filter value to "1985".

As you build your filter, the Matched tracks list will automatically update to show which tracks will be included in the group, allowing you to verify that your filter is working correctly. You can also combine year filters with other criteria using AND and OR operators. For instance, you could create a filter like "Year = 1980 AND Genre = Rock" to include only rock songs from 1980.

Once you click OK to save the track group, it will automatically include any existing tracks from that year and will continue to update as you add new tracks with matching year information to your library. The track group will then be available in the Track Group selector throughout PlayIt Live for filtering and scheduling purposes.
