MusicIP Mixer Help - Using Filters

MusicIP Mixer lets you create filters to narrow down the set of songs you are currently looking at. If you want to use filters, make sure the Filters/Playlists window is visible by choosing View/Filters/Playlists. You can create a new filter by right-clicking on the Library in this window, or by right-clicking on the background.

When you create a filter you specify one or more conditions which must be satisfied for a song to be included in the filter. You may combine these conditions with and or or (i.e. ALL the conditions must be true, or ANY of the conditions must be true).

Whenever a filter is selected, all the genres/artists/albums/songs which are not allowed by this filter will be hidden. You can always select the library node to clear any current filters.
