Support numeric range queries

[arsaboo]

Describe the new feature

It would be great if we can use numerical values in queries. For example, year greater than 2010 or year between 1990 and 2000. This does not have to be limited to year, but can be extended to other fields, e.g., bitrate, rating.

Use case

This can be used to create smart playlists. For example, we can create a playlist for all tracks from '90s.

Thanks for creating the feature request, this is something I'd definitely like to see implemented.

Do you have any suggestions on the query syntax? I know beets uses .., but having never really used these queries myself I wonder if you had any other ideas or if that seemed good.

I think the .. syntax is fine (unless you have other thoughts). It is easy to understand and use and I am sure the target audience is familiar with that syntax.
