Soup views are 'pseudo-playlists' generated from tag data (everything in 2.xx emplode lefthend panel bellow 'Playlists' folder). Currently they include lists by artist, album, genre, year and flat list of all tracks. One can imagine others (and perhaps there will be others). It is also possible to generate temporary lists from search results.

At the moment 'soup views' exist only in emplode, not the player itself; so, they are usefull only for cleaning up tags, detecting duplicates etc. Idea is to eventually use them to select music for playing, as replacement for 'manual' artist, genre etc. playlists (so that users would only make mood, his/hers, low/hi key, test, demo etc. playlists).
