Adding Favorite Artists
Double-click the playlist to add new artists. Mark artist/s, and click Add. Click AllMusic info for track details.
Editing Favorite Artists
Click Artists to see the full list. Add or delete, keeping one per line. Streams match by full or partial artist name.
Search Options
Include track names in addition to artists with a starting asterisk. The following matches artist names, like ‘Cujo – Traffic’ and track names ‘Curtis – Scram feat. Cujo’.
*Cujo
Require full name matches with a starting equal sign. The following stops a bad ‘Orbital’ match, but misses a good ‘The Orb’ match:

Ignore case with a starting tilde. The following matches ‘Dj Food’ as it appears on some streams:
