Playlist Generator Pro - priorities explained
Priority based track selection depends on Playcount, Date last played and Rating. For instance, tracks which were not played for a long time and tracks with high rating can be boosted in priority, therefore they will appear more often in the generated lists.
Each track has a base priority of 50. Priority is calculated internally based on rules defined. Priority value of 50 means the track has an even chance to be included in the playlist.
Priority values range from 0 to 100. 0 means the track has very low chance to be in the playlist, while 100 means the track's chance is 3-4 times higher compared to priority of 50.
Priority rules are defined in Category properties, Priority tab.
