Search Help...
« on: July 29, 2021, 10:02:30 am »

I need to find all tracks of a specific genre which are longer than a set amount.  Don't care that they are from multiple albums.

For example: all tracks from Genre: Soundtrack longer than 9 Minutes.

How can one accomplish this, if it is at all possible.

Thanks

Code: [Select]
[media type]=[audio] [Genre]=[Soundtrack] [Duration]=>540
Get at a list of all your audio files.
Copy the code above and paste it into your MC search bar.
Job done. (at its most simple and basic level, it answers your question.)

There are many different ways you could arrive at this that might offer you more flexibility with regard to, selecting genres, for example.

Imagine a panes view that only lists tracks longer than nine minutes coupled with, at least, a "Genre" pane. The "Genre" pane would be automatically limited to only those values represented by the files in the list. Selecting "Soundtrack" gives the files you were looking for... Select a different genre, and, you see what I mean? The "more than nine minutes" thing is already taken care of.
