Smart playlist Language filter

As sometimes, when set should contain only songs in particular language, it would really help a lot, if you could use language (ID3v2 TLAN field) filter in smart playlists.

Any plans to include it?

There are things in the works within rekordbox to help identify EXPLICIT songs (like iTunes does), but unfortunately there is no guarantee all songs will be marked as such due to the lack of compliance with any standards already available, and the variety of formats which may not include those fields.

Well, I was actually thinking somekind of simple filtering as it currently works for lots of other fields. For example as it currently works for "album" field.

Not sure about all the formats, but most of supported and tagable ones do have field specified for it.

It is not about rude or explicit lyrics, but actual language in which vocals are performed. You know, english, spanish, russian, deutsch, etc, etc... :)

Ah, I understand -- and that is even lesser used than the "explicit" field. Sorry, but I don't see that as likely to be implemented. My recommendation would be for you to customize a MyTag field for that purpose. It's already in the available filters, and is incredibly powerful!

I currently do, but as Language field is actually filled (at least on all tracks in my collection) it would have been "automatic".
Some of the tracks I have bought lately, have had that field filled too.

Anyway, I just threw my two cents...if no one asks, no one knows that anyone in somewhere, even uses such rarely used standard tag fields. ;)

I never heared about explicit field though...at least before our current conversation... :D

EDIT: Explicit field (rtng field) seems to be mp4 and iTunes exclusive field only.
