Smartlist - Artists with ONLY 1 song.
« on: April 09, 2025, 02:15:47 pm »

I am trying to create a Smartlist containing [Artist] that have only 1 song. I subscribed to iTunes new artists for a while but now I have hundreds of one-song artists in my library and I want to relocate them..  Any suggestions appreciated. (I searched the forum a bunch and everything I found was about selecting one song per artist (not what I want).

Maybe not possible with a Smartlist, but you can use a View:
- create an empty Panes View
- add Category:
    - type = Expression
    - group by = [album artist (auto)]
    - display = GrouPcount() - [album artist (auto)]
    - sort = Number of Files
- click OK twice to save it
- group the view by None (no grouping) using the dropdown menu on the Panes tab

All artists with just 1 track should be listed at the bottom. You can multi-select all of them to see all the files on the view, then do whatever you like with them

Excellent, Thank you and MC is wild.  Just scratching the surface of it's capabilities - wow.

FYI, I had to add "Sorting: Number of Files" in the expression.

Thank you again 😊
