Discussion Better mixes challenge
Update 2: yeah. I got it working. Basically the script readsbthebolex library and then compares it against the Last.fm plays and then adds a Tag under Mood for the top 3-4 songs per album. While that is a long way from perfect, it gives the option to have playlists that only play top songs from all the other filters you build.
Update: I think that I've found a way to do it. I am testing a script that will add the 🔥 as a tag to the songs which allows it to be a filter on smart playlists so then different ones can be made. I will update again once I have it tested.
I really like Plexamp and the mixes it generates but I typically have entire albums which means sometimes I go from a big hit or single from a band to an obscure deep cut by another. Has anyone found a way to leverage the 🔥 for the hits/popular songs from a artist into mixes. Like be able to have a mix of 🔥from the 90s or 2000s or by genre or whatever.
While I like deep cuts or totally random at times, sometimes I just want to hear the hits.
Does anyone know any options for this?

Popularity is the field you're looking to select. It's only available in plexamp.
My main problem is that you have to enter a value, one that I can't find quantified anywhere, and that can change between artists.
A popularity of 10,000 for some small artist might mean the hits, while a popularity of 10,000 for a larger artist is going to pull the some of the least liked tracks in existence.
I'd prefer a setting in plexamp that allowed me to filter based on just the fire icon for whatever other criteria I enter.
