My fundamental issue with APG and dynamic playlists and all the previous
attempts to do smart playlists, is that for some fields, you need a listview
with checkbox selection showing a CHOICE of the existing values in the
database.

For Genres, in my case, this is especially important. I don't want to add  a
rule for each genre and have to type it in with my keyboard. That's
ridiculous!!

See a bug I opened:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260296

If genres were fixed, I'd be a lot happier. I'm sure others would like other
fields to be multiple-selectable also.
