comox:
I have some music albums accurately tagged with [Artist] & [Album].

Collection1 of albums is in Folder1.
Collection2 of albums is in Folder2.

I would like to identify all Artists in Collection2 that also exist Collection1.

Thanks for you help.

blgentry:
I think I understand what you are trying to do.  I want to make sure though:  You are NOT trying to find duplicates.  Instead, you're trying to do some kind of comparison, probably to consolidate some artists in a single folder instead of under two folders.

So far, I have not found a way to do that.  I thought I knew how, but when I tested it, I found out I did not actually know how.

Maybe someone else has a good idea or two on this.

Brian.

comox:
Correct, I'm not trying to find duplicates.

I went through my music collection and moved all the crap albums to a cull folder. Later I realized that I want to distinguish between crap artists for which I want to cull all their albums, and crap albums of artists that have some good albums in my main collection.  I want to move all crap albums that have work by artists in my "good" collection out of the cull folder into a new folder.

Thank you very much for trying.  I will do it manually with a few hours of work.

What's inside "Folder 1" and "Folder 2"

If it's just a bunch of files, things get more complex, maybe impossible, but, if you have Folder 1\Artist\Album and Folder 2\Artist\Album then a compare might be possible...

lepa:
I guess you could use variables. So create two variables and save true (1) to variable if artist is found from your specified folder


--- Code: ---Save(0,ArtistOnCollection1[Artist])
Save(0,ArtistOnCollection2[Artist])
If(IsEqual([Filename (Path)],Folder1),Save(1,ArtistOnCollection1[Artist]),Save(0,ArtistOnCollection1[Artist]))
If(IsEqual([Filename (Path)],Folder2),Save(1,ArtistOnCollection1[Artist]),Save(0,ArtistOnCollection1[Artist]))

--- End code ---
Then compare if row has both locations true

--- Code: ---If(IsEqual(Load(ArtistOnCollection1[Artist]),Load(ArtistOnCollection2[Artist])),ON BOTH, NOT ON BOTH)
--- End code ---
which can be made as filter or check mark besides row. something like that. above is not actually working and would need some adjustments but idea I guess would work
