One of the great features that was lost to the world when the terrible iPod took over the DAP scene was RiO's brilliance, embodied in the Karma.

One of the greatest things about the Karma was its long library of automatically generated "dynamic playlists". We currently have a very few simple ones on FFXOS' music app, but we could use more.

The Rio Karma Rio DJ dynamic playlists that we can be.... inspired by:
    Entertain Me!: Generates playlist from most frequently played music. 
    Play All: Play everything and automatically sort by album, artist, genre, or year.
    Top Tunes: Play the most frequently played tracks. 
    New Music: Play the most recently imported tracks. 
    Memory Lane: Play tracks that haven't been played in a while. 
    Sounds Of…: Play tracks from the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, or newer than 2000 (we should include 2010)
    Forgotten Gems: Play old favorites that haven't been played in a while.
    Deja Vu: Play tracks that have been played in recent history.
    Random Mix: Generate a random list.

In addition to these, we could generate a few more based upon the star rating of tracks. "Favorites" [5/4 star], "Duds" [1/2 star], "Good" [3 star], or the like.

You can also combine star rating and play count to create fun dynamic playlists like "Guilty Pleasures", which are songs you rate low to feel good about your taste (and to possibly show off), but you listen to in secret a lot! Some examples for me would be anything by Enrique Iglesias, and definitely "And she said..." by Lucas Prata.

Other fun dynamic playlists could take into account genre tags to create "moods" by grouping similar genres/sub-genres together. I'd love a Indie/Folk mood, a dark mood, a high energy mood, etc.
