Not sure re-installation will help you, as I can't see what could prevent rules from working. Going to probably ask silly questions now, but something has been overlooked or misunderstood somewhere....

You have scanned your music files and created a library. The standard nodes list genres, artists, albums, songs etc. You then create a smart playlist of type "albums" with rule "path" "startswith" "C:\users\patgu\music\lossless\". Then click on that playlist what songs do you see? Perhaps provide screenshots of playlist editor and end results?

Edit: Ah, hang on may have found a bug in 16.1

Playlists are working, Nodes work if I set "content" to songs and does not work if I set "content" to albums.

If I change the Node/Content to "Songs" it works. Any way to group/list as Albums? If content is set to Albums all of my music is populates, both MP3s and Flac.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node type="filter">
<label>Flac Albums</label>
<content>songs</content>
<order direction="ascending">album</order>
<rule field="path" operator="startswith">
<value>C:\users\patgu\music\lossless\</value>
</rule>
</node>
