Smart Playlist Rule

The from and to fields require some explanation. If `field` is a date type, then `value` would be set to 0x2dae2dae2dae2dae, `date` would be a number, (e.g. 2 or -2), and `units` would be a time unit in seconds (e.g. one week would be 604800). If `field` is an integer comparison, like rating = 60 (i.e. 3 stars), then `value` would be the value we care about (e.g. 60), `date` would be 0, and `units` would be 1. Binary AND types are similar, `value` is the important part, with `date` = 0 and `units` = 1. Clear as mud, right?

        ITDB_LIMITSORT_SONG_NAME = 0x03,
        ITDB_LIMITSORT_ALBUM = 0x04,
        ITDB_LIMITSORT_ARTIST = 0x05,
        ITDB_LIMITSORT_GENRE = 0x07,
        ITDB_LIMITSORT_MOST_RECENTLY_ADDED = 0x10,
        ITDB_LIMITSORT_LEAST_RECENTLY_ADDED = 0x80000010, /* See note above */
        ITDB_LIMITSORT_MOST_OFTEN_PLAYED = 0x14,
        ITDB_LIMITSORT_LEAST_OFTEN_PLAYED = 0x80000014,   /* See note above */

        ITDB_LIMITSORT_LOWEST_RATING = 0x80000017         /* See note above */
    } ItdbLimitSort;

Which songs to pick when using a limit type

Note: the values for ITDB_LIMITSORT_LEAST_RECENTLY_ADDED, ITDB_LIMITSORT_LEAST_OFTEN_PLAYED, ITDB_LIMITSORT_LEAST_RECENTLY_PLAYED, and ITDB_LIMITSORT_LOWEST_RATING are really 0x10, 0x14, 0x15, 0x17, with the 'limitsort_opposite' flag set. This is the same value as the "positive" value (i.e. ITDB_LIMITSORT_LEAST_RECENTLY_ADDED), and is really very terribly awfully weird, so we map the values to iPodDB specific values with the high bit set.

On writing, we check the high bit and write the limitsort_opposite from that. That way, we don't have to deal with programs using the class needing to set the wrong limit and then make it into the "opposite", which would be frickin' annoying.

         * I'm not sure what this becomes when this action is negated...

    really this is a bitmapped field...
    high byte
    bit 0 = "string" values if set, "int" values if not set
    bit 1 = "not", or to negate the check.
    lower 2 bytes
    bit 0 = simple "IS" query
    bit 1 = contains
    bit 2 = begins with
    bit 3 = ends with
    bit 4 = greater than
    bit 5 = unknown, but probably greater than or equal to
    bit 6 = less than
    bit 7 = unknown, but probably less than or equal to
    bit 8 = a range selection
    bit 9 = "in the last"
    bit 10 = binary AND
    bit 11 = unknown

`ITDB_SPLACTION_IS_INT` | is integer ("Is Set" in iTunes)
`ITDB_SPLACTION_IS_GREATER_THAN` | is greater than ("Is after" in iTunes)
`ITDB_SPLACTION_IS_LESS_THAN` | is less than ("Is Before" in iTunes)
`ITDB_SPLACTION_IS_IN_THE_RANGE` | is in the range

`ITDB_SPLACTION_BINARY_UNKNOWN1` |
`ITDB_SPLACTION_IS_STRING` | is a string
`ITDB_SPLACTION_CONTAINS` | contains
`ITDB_SPLACTION_STARTS_WITH` | starts with
`ITDB_SPLACTION_ENDS_WITH` | ends with
`ITDB_SPLACTION_IS_NOT_INT` | is not an integer ("Is Not Set" in iTunes)

### enum ItdbSPLActionLast

    typedef enum {
        ITDB_SPLACTION_LAST_DAYS_VALUE = 86400,    /* nr of secs in 24 hours */
        ITDB_SPLACTION_LAST_WEEKS_VALUE = 604800,  /* nr of secs in 7 days   */
        ITDB_SPLACTION_LAST_MONTHS_VALUE = 2628000 /* nr of secs in 30.4167
    						  days ~= 1 month */
    } ItdbSPLActionLast;

These are to pass to `AddRule()` when you need a unit for the two "in the last" action types. In theory, you can use any time range. iTunes might not like it, but the iPod shouldn't care.

`ITDB_SPLACTION_LAST_DAYS_VALUE` | Seconds in 24 hours
`ITDB_SPLACTION_LAST_WEEKS_VALUE` | Seconds in 7 days
`ITDB_SPLACTION_LAST_MONTHS_VALUE` | Seconds in 1 month (approximately)

### itdb_splr_get_field_type ()

    ItdbSPLFieldType    itdb_splr_get_field_type            (const Itdb_SPLRule *splr);

Gets the type of the field of the `splr` rule

`splr` : | an Itdb_SPLRule
Returns : | an Itdb_SPLFieldType corresponding to `splr` field type (string, int, date, ...)

### itdb_splr_get_action_type ()

    ItdbSPLActionType   itdb_splr_get_action_type           (const Itdb_SPLRule *splr);

Gets the type of the action associated with `splr`.

`splr` : | an Itdb_SPLRule
Returns : | type (range, date, string...) of the action field

### itdb_splr_validate ()

    void                itdb_splr_validate                  (Itdb_SPLRule *splr);

Validates a smart playlist rule

`splr` : | an Itdb_SPLRule

### itdb_splr_remove ()

    void                itdb_splr_remove                    (Itdb_Playlist *pl,
                                                             Itdb_SPLRule *splr);

Removes the smart playlist rule `splr` from playlist `pl`. The memory used by `splr` is freed.

`pl` : | an Itdb_Playlist
`splr` : | an Itdb_SPLRule

### itdb_splr_new ()

    Itdb_SPLRule *      itdb_splr_new                       (void);

Creates a new default smart rule

Returns : | a new Itdb_SPLRule that must be freed with `itdb_splr_free()` when no longer needed

### itdb_splr_add ()

    void                itdb_splr_add                       (Itdb_Playlist *pl,
                                                             Itdb_SPLRule *splr,

Adds the smart rule `splr` to `pl` at position `pos`. If `pos` is -1, `splr` gets appended to the end. After this call, `splr` memory is managed by `pl`, so you no longer need to call `itdb_splr_free()`

`pl` : | an Itdb_Playlist
`splr` : | an Itdb_SPLRule
`pos` : | position of the rule

### itdb_splr_add_new ()

    Itdb_SPLRule *      itdb_splr_add_new                   (Itdb_Playlist *pl,

Creates a new smart rule and inserts it at position `pos` in `pl`. If `pos` is -1, the new rule gets appended to the end.

`pl` : | an Itdb_Playlist
`pos` : | position to insert the rule at
Returns : | pointer to the newly created Itdb_SPLRule. Its memory is handled by `pl` though, so you don't need to explicitly call `itdb_splr_free()` on it

### itdb_spl_copy_rules ()

    void                itdb_spl_copy_rules                 (Itdb_Playlist *dest,

`dest` : | destination Itdb_Playlist
`src` : | source Itdb_Playlist

### itdb_splr_eval ()

    gboolean            itdb_splr_eval                      (Itdb_SPLRule *splr,
                                                             Itdb_Track *track);

Evaluates `splr`'s truth against `track`. `track->itdb` must be set.

Updates the content of the smart playlist `spl` (meant to be called if the tracks stored in the Itdb_iTunesDB associated with `spl` have changed somehow and you want `spl->members` to be accurate with regards to those changes. Does nothing if `spl` isn't a smart playlist.

`spl` : | an Itdb_Playlist

### itdb_spl_update_all ()

    void                itdb_spl_update_all                 (Itdb_iTunesDB *itdb);
