+ <para>
+ This plugin permits offline autoqueuing based on files tags only. Supported tags are
+ <option>'comment'</option>, <option>'date'</option>, <option>'genre'</option>, <option>'label'</option> and
+ <option>'originaldate'</option>. It currently supports single track queuing only, no album mode for this plugin.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In addition to supported tags above you can use an MPD filter. Please refer to MPD protocol documentation for more.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ All entries in this section are ANDed as a single MPD filter to look for titles
+ in the library. Moreover, with tags, comma separated values are also ANDed.<sbr />
+ For instance setting "<option>genre=rock</option>" and
+ "<option>date=1982,1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,1988,1989</option>"
+ will end up looking for track tagged with genre <option>rock</option>
+ and date within 1985 through 1990.<sbr />
+ Using an MPD filter to replace <option>date</option> you can achieve
+ the same with the following setting: "<option>genre=rock</option>" and
+ "<option>filter=(date =~ '198[2-9]')</option>" (provided your MPD server
+ was compiled with libpcre).
