Doesn't have to. Take a look at iTunes's smart playlist dialog. Each
rule is a row of three input widgets: a drop-down box for the data to
check (Artist, bitrate, BPM, etc.), a drop-down box for the type of comparison
(varies depending on the contents of the first drop-down box, but stuff
like "is greater than", "contains", "is in the range", etc.), and a text
entry box for the value you want to use as a limit.
Makes it possible and easy to enter complex rules, in a non-hateful
manner.
