Request: smartlist limits by artist / album
« on: June 30, 2003, 01:57:34 am »
Is it possible to limit a smartlist to (eg) one track from any one artist?

eg
Genre: Rock
Limit(Tracks): 100
Limit(Artist): 1
or
Limit(Album): 1

Even on quite short smartlists (eg 30 tracks), I'm getting quite a lot of tracks from the same artist, and even from the same album.

Anyone else interested in this?

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Something that worked a little like ~dup would be cool so you could specify any fields and any limit number.

It'd be nice to combine ~dup, ~nodup and this, but I think they're different enough that it may not make sense.

Yeah Matt,  I agree.  ~dup and ~nodup serve a function in themselves for finding dups in playlists.  This would be nice as an extra.  It would also help to make smartlists a bit more randomd as you could force MC not to play more than one track from a particular album or artist.  This would be very sweet.
