Thanks for looking into it and getting back to me. I know now why it was happening. It's not that the filter was running out of tracks, but the filter with the Trackstat block settings on top of it was. I had jacked up the setting to block songs played in the last 21 days because I was getting too many songs repeated. I already tweaked my filters for last played blocking to allow more songs in certain filters, but I neglected to lower the Trackstat blocking in Sugarcube. Could the fallback maybe ignore either Trackstat or Filter instead of just going to random? My preference would be for the priority to be: Filter + Trackstat combined Filter only Trackstat blocking only Random, restricted to genre But I realize that is probably getting complicated! Couple of questions I meant to ask you about filters... Does SugarCube see nested filters the same way that MusicIP does where the child filters inherit the settings of the parent filter? I wasn't sure so I made all my filters in a flat hierarchy, but it is a lot easier to do certain blocking with nested filters. I saw that you added "Show Filters" into your custom web front end for MIP Headless. Thanks. It would be very useful if this could also display the number of tracks found for each filter next to the filter name. That way we could check if any filters are close to being exhausted without opening the desktop GUI. -- MeSue SUE 1 Touch | 2 Booms | 2 Radios | 1 Duet | 1 SB2 HP MediaSmart EX470 | Logitech Media Server 7.7.1 | iPod Touch & iPad w/ iPeng Find me on 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue) | 'Twitter' (http://twitter.com/suechastain) | 'Rhapsody' (http://www.rhapsody.com/members/mesue) -*Logitech!
