Filter Unplayed Artists

Is there any way to create a filter for all artists that have never been played?

ie. If all tracks from artist X have  PLAY_COUNTER<1 then include in playlist.

No. The title formatting scripts and queries only "see" one track at a time.

  Aw too bad. Do you think developing a component for that would be very complicated?

I think that you can do it easily with Custom Database (foo_customdb), you create a tag like %artist_playcount% and create an action to augment it by one when a song is played, then create an autoplaylist using the values of %artist_playcount%.

Just play with that component.

That preforms reasonably well? Yes.

Wouldn't an %artist_playcount% value be stored separately for each track?

The trick with the component is that its tags have a 'scope'. So if you set that scope to ARTIST, every track with same artist gets the same value.
Cool, isn't it?
