Is it possible to add total number of albums per artists.  Trivial put would like to add it if possible to create / calculate total as it changes.


Thanks
see attached

That would be cool, especially if we could sort by album totals, so I could see the most popular/prolific artists in my library, etc.

I'm sure that's possible. I currently do it with movie box sets, where I have the number of movies within the set shown after the set name.

I'll post details when I get home later.

Here you go, this seems to work for me, using [album artist (auto)], just substitute with [album artist] if you prefer that...
With a little font colouring...


Build your category like so:


You can copy the expression below and substitute your preferred field if [album artist (auto)] is not your preferred field

Code: [Select]

[album artist (auto),1] <font color="0xaeafce">if(isequal(groupcount(album),1,5),/(groupcount(album) Albums/),/(groupcount(album) Album/))<//font>

do tell

 ?

maybe i didn't

I tried a few things here just now but none of them worked. I'm thinking it's not possible this way as sorting is derived from the "Expression to group by", then we use that grouping to generate the stats in "Expression to display"

Wow - Perfect... easy to implement.

Drawing a blank:  where can I change the font color or does it go with the theme.  

Again, thanks perfect solution.

You're welcome

Drawing a blank:  where can I change the font color or does it go with the theme.

[album artist (auto),1] <font color="0xaeafce">if(isequal(groupcount(album),1,5),/(groupcount(album) Albums/),/(groupcount(album) Album/))<//font>

The 6, bold, red, letters I've hilighted above give the font its colour. Change those, and you change the colour.
This page will help: ---> http://www.color-hex.com/ (you just need the six letters/numbers, ignore the #)
