<p><b>New page</b></p><div>An '''autoplaylist''' in is an auto-updating playlist based on a [[Foobar2000:Query_syntax|query]], where tracks are added (or removed) automatically when the relevant query is met.<br />
<br />
The difference from a normal playlist is that users cannot manually remove/crop/cut/paste individual tracks in the playlist – the options to do so are unavailable.<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
# Open the Album List via {{code|Library > Album List}}.<br />
# Select the required view, e.g. {{code|by folder structure}}.<br />
# Enter a query to return only the required results, e.g. {{code|%added% DURING LAST 2 WEEKS}}.<br />
# Right-click {{code|All Music}} at the root of the structure (or one of its branches) and select {{code|Create Autoplaylist}} to create the playlist.<br />
<br />
Once created, the autoplaylist can be renamed as required.<br />
<br />
==Updating the query==<br />
To update an autoplaylist's query, right-click the playlist and select {{code|Autoplaylist (Album List branch) ...}}.<br />
<br />
; Branch<br />
: The selected branch from which the autoplaylist was created, e.g. {{code|All Music}}.<br />
; Filter Pattern<br />
: The query used to filter the list. Updating this will update the playlist based on the new conditions.<br />
; Force-sorted<br />
: If enabled, tracks added are ordered based on the previously-selected filter, and the sort order cannot be changed manually.<br />
<br />
