HedgeHog:
Thank you again, Brian.
Works perfectly (especially now that I found the Wiki on the expression language).
Cheers!

HedgeHog,
Don't feel bad. I've been using MC for over two years after switching from another media organizer/player and I'm still finding options I never knew about, and different ways to organize and manage my media collection all the time.
The capabilities built into MC continue to amaze me. It's like a treasure hunt finding all the hidden gems. Fortunately, there is a very knowledgeable and helpful user community here and the program developers are more involved here than you would find just about anywhere else.
The tip from blgentry about editing thumbnail text is another new one that I will certainly want to experiment with. Thanks.

I've been running MC since version 18 (so just a year prior to your usage). I never bothered doing much except replacing that awful iTunes. I was tempted to go Roon/HQPlayer but so much $$$ for a desktop rig. Perhaps, when I add a pricey DAC to my main system.
Anyway, here's the 3rd line I added in the Thumbnail Text. Hope its syntax is proper and optimal.
IfElse(
IsEqual([Channels],2,2), Stereo,
IsEqual([Channels],5,2), Mutli-Channel: 5.0,
IsEqual([Channels],6,2), Multi-Channel: 5.1
)
Thanks again to both suggestions!

You probably know this but...
A. In a Panes view, Artist lists all artists, regardless of whether they are the album artist or not. So you can find them easily that way.
B. In any view, Artists view included, you can type some of the artist's name into the search box and it will bring up matches as you type. When you find the artist you want, you can click on it and it will show you the albums that artist appears on.

Right, but unless I'm tagging things wrong, there is no viewscheme that will display a whole split album for all artists in each artist's album view. And since it feels like that sentence will only make sense to me, I mean:
Artist 'Band' has a split album with Artist 'Group', an album called 'Split'. If:
1. Album Artist is 'Various', all tracks will show in Various, but not for each Artist. Band and Group have all their tracks listed under Various
2. Album Artist matches each Artist, an Album viewscheme will only show the tracks pertaining to each Artist. Band shows Band's songs, Group shows theirs.
I'd like to be able to tag all of the tracks for both bands so that all tracks from Split appear under the album view for each Artist. And then be able to see that as well when using JRemote.
blgentry:
I understand, but I don't know how to do that with MC.
I also don't see the utility since you can find what you want so easily with a search. But hey, who am I to criticize how you want to see your collection laid out? :)
Brian.
