The Story

It started back in the days with iTunes. I discovered that it offererd decent smart-playlists, even if the GUI was a bit off. But they worked and I spent a lot of time tweaking them. But I also lost them everytime I messed up my PC. Which happened too often.

Slowly I stopped spending too much time on them. And then I also switched to Linux. The only app with somewhat decent smart-playlists I could find was Rhytimbox. But nothing was "optimal". I could do it better. So I am. As a (not so) simple TUI app.
