Rekordbox Intelligent Playlist Bug(?)
Having the following issue with Rekordbox Tags and Intelligent Playlists
Rekordbox 5.4.3 (on OSX 10.14.1)
Issue:
Intelligent playlists seem to not treat "does not contain" as a logical NOT operator.
Example:
* I have 500 songs in my collection.
* 10 of these songs have a single tag "TAG1"
* I apply a new tag "TAG2" to 1 song (that also has TAG1)
* I create an intelligent playlist with the rule: Match: "My Tag, does not contain, TAG2"
My expectation: Intelligent playlist should contain 499 songs.
Actual behavior: Intelligent playlist contains 9 songs.
In appears the "does not contain" matching rule only excludes songs if they have at lease one other tag.
Is this the correct expected behavior?

Yes, it's a bit of a logical fallacy; you need to have at least 1 tag for it to be included. I have an "In Collection" tag applied to my entire collection just to get around this. The engineers are aware of this and we hope to have it fixed in a future update.
I would say that is correct behaviour as the filter would only look at the subset of tracks that have a tag applied, otherwise it would look at the entire collection which then goes outside the bounds of 'My Tag'
