How can I exclude particular album(s) from autoplaylist

Greetings HA and Foobar2000 community.

I started using Foobar2000 a few days ago and am loving it so far, but I have one issue that I can't seem to figure out regarding autoplaylists.

What I'm trying to accomplish is the following: a “Best of” autoplaylist containing my top rated tracks from a particular artist, while excluding albums by that artist containing Remasters in the album name (to prevent duplicaates, alt. versions, etc). I can get query results for all the top rated tracks from the particular artist with the following query in Library → Search:

Code: [Select]
artist IS Led Zeppelin AND %rating% GREATER 3


My problem happens when I want to exclude particular albums that have Remasters in the album title from the results of the above query. It seems to me the NOT operator is what I should use but I must not be putting it in the correct place. Could someone please advise on the proper query formatting to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

I'm not use search option, but i think that you need to use something like: (artist IS Led Zeppelin AND %rating% GREATER 3) AND (NOT (album IS Remaster))
Good Luck!

Edit: Bollerkoop CODE is good, and better! Use that
