Do you know of an mp3 player that can play songs from a directory based on metadata? Like if I have a few dozen in a directory, can I somehow tell the player, 'play the songs that have This Guy listed as an artist?'
>>130017392too broke for Spotify? because it can literally do that, not with your mp3s but with your in-app library

>>130017392Can't Windows Media player do this? Like can't you just put all those songs into a playlist and from there just filter them by artist? Pretty sure most media players that can handle playlists can do this.
Mediamonkey could do this I believe. Just go to the directory. Then open a column sorter, or whatever its called, itll list all the albums/artists. Select the artist. Then itll only display songs from that artist.
I use my P2P software to download music. The files are downloaded into a folder. I use media monkey to navigate to that folder, before I move them to my music folder. You can see those columns at the top: Artist/Album/Genre. You could click one of those to filter by that particular category.Hope I understood your question correctly and this helps
Right now I can browse and filter my Library by Album/Artist/Genre. But you can see the other options Mediamonkey offers as well. You can also set up Playlists with defined rules. It's pretty flexibleWhat are you trying to do exactly

>>130017392you can use 'smart playlist' in itunes to select from your files based on all sorts of factors (length, artist, anything at all really, etc)
