Hmmm. My understanding of Wendy filters (as originally described) is that it's just a logical "NOT" of a playlist. You set up a filter and it blocks those songs so that your girlfriend doesn't find out about your "Sounds of Porno" collection. Not nearly as useful as a keyword-based system if you ask me. I wish I had suggested this a few months ago (before 1.1 development was frozen) but maybe it's something to think about for future incarnations.

I'll do some more thinking about this and post a more formal Wishlist type thing soon, after I sort out some of the details in my own head, and read up a little more on ID3v2. In the meantime, anyone else think this idea makes sense? The idea started with me thinking about this thread, and then thinking about an old shareware program I had once used which implemented keyword-based searches of browser bookmarks in a very intelligent way. You typed in keywords of those pages. For instance, I might type in "empeg" to get all my Empeg bookmarks, and "bbs" to narrow it down to just this one.

If ID3v2 doesn't have any fields that make this work, I think the comment field could be used to contain comma or semicolon-delimited keywords for this purpose. Then it'd just be a question of having the empeg yank them out into the database and make the search based on these keywords happen. Hmmmm... Anyway, more thoughts on this are welcome, I think this would be a home run, personally.
