I used folder paths in the search expression because usually people like to get all albums named e.g. "Best Of" from different artists.

I have a playlist of 1932 different albums without duplicate albums.

The same list shows only 1870 albums when modified with ~limit=-1,1,[Album].

It filters 24 Greatest Hits, 8 The Best Of, 6 The Very Best Of, 4 The Essential, 4 Best Of, 3 The Ultimate collection, 3 The Singles Collection, 2 Live, 1 Fragile, 1 II, 1 IV, 1 Millenium Collection (Best Of), 1 Assorted, 1 Strange Days, 1 Touch and 1 Toys out.

Q: How to print an album list?

A:

Here is a way to do it if you keep the albums in separate folders. This gives you a bit more control and the smartlist will always be up-to-date.

First make a smartlist using this rule:

[Media Type]=[Audio] ~limit=-1,1,[Filename (path)]

Then customize your view for that smartlist like this:



The smartlist should now look like this:



You can print a file list directly or if you like to you can select all and copy-paste to e.g. Excel for adjusting your printout.

How about getting the folder names that the albums are in ?

I tend to use descriptive folder names that include number of CDs and year. Goes back to the days when all i had was winamp + explorer.

I tried playing with the expression Mid but this won't work when the path lengths are different.

You can get the path or the filename but can't see a to get just the folder name.

I guess using the [Filename (path)] field is the only way, unless a custom field with a "Calculated Data" option can be used somehow. I tried to find information about how it works, but didn't find any. MC's help has absolutely nothing and a forum search didn't find anything useful.
