Compilations are special track groups you have composed according to your musical taste or current mood. For instance, if you are an alternative rock fan, you can create a new compilation named "My Alternative Favorites" and put the best tracks of your most favorite performers there.

We use the "Favorites" term to identify the representation mode, which reflects compilations. This term is exact and clear enough to describe the purpose of such kind of music database items. Also the way you can use compilations in Melomania is similar to the way you use your favorite bookmarks in web browsers.

Melomania allows you to create an unlimited number of compilations for each music database.

Filters are the sets of customized conditions intended for selecting tracks from music database and representing them on the screen. The simple example of what the filter might be is the condition for selecting all the tracks from albums released in a particular year. The list of criteria, which can be used in filters, is long enough. Here are only few examples:

• Artist name contains 'The'
• Album genre is equal to 'Pop'
• My rating is greater than 7 of 10
• Artist country is equal to 'England'
• Track name contains 'favorite'

Melomania allows you to create an unlimited number of filters for each music database.
