[media type]=[audio] ~a "gran turismo"
works as expected

the following smartlists don't work:
[media type]=[audio] ~a ~n=1

- it shows images
- it only shows 1 track (and not as I would expect 1 album)

~a "gran turismo"
returns just nonsense.... (including audio containing gran turismo, but loads of images......)

(currently using .200)

~n only limits the file count, never anything else. (like album count)

If "gran turismo" ~a is messy, there must be some images that also match the query of "gran turismo" and are getting expanded to full albums.

Matt,

thanks for the quick answer again....

did some more tests....

~a "gran turismo"
"gran turismo" returns 11 mp3 tracks (all tagged with album, artist, ....) and .jpg (sitting in the same folder) without any tags. this seems to trigger mc showing _all_ files without any artist and album when using ~a....
I'm not sure if you intended this, but at least, it's not what I expected. I consider files without album/artist tags as not 'clean' and thus not belonging to any album.

[media type]=[audio] ~a ~n=1

~n only limits the file count, never anything else. (like album count)

right, but [media type]=[audio]  should limit that to only audio files.... that's the part that doesn't work (it does, when not using ~a)
what I expected it to do is:
~n=1 : find one random track
~a : expand that to the full album
but even "~n=1 ~a" always returns just on track.
This might be by design.... if so consider this a enhancement request ;-)
(background: I usualy listen to full albums only. Using this I intended to setup a random smartlist that MC would sync to my archos. The archos holds a stock of 15GB music that's always there and some random addition (selected by that smartlist)
