We are running Navidrome to serve up our music, and I want to use smart playlists to listen to my music on “random”, but in a way that surfaces higher rated songs more often. Doing it this way requires a smart playlist that contains other smart playlists.

Unfortunately, it seems that Navidrome smart playlists only allow me to include non smart playlists in my playlist. I’ve got a subsonic compatible Android client that does what I need (though it doesn’t sync the playlists back to Navidrome), but what I need is a subsonic compatible windows client with the smart list within a smart list functionality, or a way of making Navidrome serve them up directly.

Has anyone found clients that support this, or found a way of making navidrome smart playlists within other smart playlists?

    I currently use Navidrome as well, but I really don’t use smart playlists like that. For me, I use Symfonium on Android, which offers a ton of options and is incredible. In all my years of using a personal server to host music, this app has been the best by a lot. As for desktop apps, I don’t use them much, but when I do, I use Musicbee, which also offers unlimited customization if you’re willing to put time into it. It used to have a subsonic plug-in, but I have no idea if it’s still active. I just use the local file location and treat it as its own entity. If the subsonic plug-in still works, it may allow you to do what you want since everything seems possible in Musicbee from my experience.
