Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/koel/koel/issues/1503

I know that it has been commented on other occasions but I would like to propose that more ID3 tags be added to be able to create much more specific and rich smart playlists.

From my point of view I think it would be very useful to be able to create a playlist based on the physical path of the mp3 file, the directory more specifically. Currently if you have the music organized in albums everything is fine but surely many (myself included) will have directories with loose mp3s from different artists and different albums all mixed.

Also related to the creation of smart playlists, I find it useful to be able to use the ID3 tags of year and musical genre as filters.

Greetings

Please read my reason for not supporting paths as a smart playlist's criterion here #1493.

With all due respect, I don't quite agree with your reasoning. Koel is very user friendly in many aspects but to install/deploy it you have to have some knowledge about what you are doing and once you have it up and running you have to copy your music to where you have decided to install the service or you have to mount your shared resource by smb or nfs or link your S3 bucket, the option you have chosen.

I accept that maybe it is a functionality that is not useful for a large majority (I really do not think so, I do not believe that everyone has their music perfectly organized on discs and does not have any directory or directories with mixed music from multiple artists, albums, etc..)

In any case, I think it's a wonderful project and I appreciate all the time you dedicate to it and I fully understand that you have to assess and decide the time you invest to improve it day by day. :)

What do you think about adding the ID3 tags of music genre and year?

I understand and agree that users shouldn't have any context on the file location, but there should be more integration for other ID3 tags. On a typical MusicBrainz data import, there are so many tags; pretty sure some of them can be of good use.

Wait, year/genre tag doesn't exist?
