## MusicIP Mixer Help - Power Words MusicIP Mixer has support for an extensible vocabulary inside Power Search. You can define your own words in terms of existing terms, and they will be usable in their own Power Searches. To to this, create a file called powerwords.txt, and store it where the default cache is located (on Windows, this is the installation folder). Each line will contain a definition or an alias. You can add comments by starting the line with any symbol besides _. Aliases: You can create a new alias which represents any existing word, by writing the line
    und=and
In this case, it means whenever the word "und" is used, it has the same meaning as "and". You can define as many aliases as you like, but the right-hand side should alway be a basic word or definition (not another alias). The entire Power Search vocabulary is available. Definitions: A definition lets you create a new word which represents an existing boolean expression. You can use these to create a more intuitive vocabulary based on how you think about your own music collection. You can create a new definition like this:
    crappy: bps <= 96
    recent: added > now - 7 days
Thus, "crappy" now means songs with a bitrate less than or equal to 96. "recent" now means songs added within the last 7 days. With these definitions in place, you can do a search "recent crappy songs" to select all low bitrate downloads in the last 7 days (presumably to delete them!). Here are some more examples:
    favorite: rating > 3
    rap: genre contains "rap"
    country: genre contains "country"
    rock: genre contains "rock"
    classical: genre contains "classical"
    christmas: title contains "jingle" or title contains "christmas"
    artwork: hasimage
    protected: drm
    tiny: bytes < 1000000
    dead: status contains "unanalyzable"
    mixable: status startswith "analyzed" or status contains "identified"
    unmixable: !mixable
    old: year < 1950 and year != 0
    fifties: year >= 1950 and year < 1960
    sixties: year >= 1960 and year < 1970
    seventies: year >= 1970 and year < 1980
    eighties: year >= 1980 and year < 1990
    nineties: year >= 1900 and year < 2000
    mp3: file endswith ".mp3"
    wma: file endswith ".wma"
