Smartlist Howto
« on: October 21, 2003, 10:17:18 am »

How would I go about making a smartlist of only songs which are by artists whom I only have one song. Anotherwords, I want to make a listing of my one-hit-wonders.

Any idea?

Thanks, Jeff

If they're all in the same directory, you could use [Filename (path)]=[C:\Path\"

No, I have everything, including artists with only one song and artists with many songs, in the same directory.

Well, you could create a new field or use a current field (like comment) and add something that distinguishes those songs from the others

like [comment]=[OHW] and have OHW in the comment tag.

Now if you have complete albums of the others, MC should be able to show them as 'Complete Albums' and then the rest of the songs would fall under the 'Incomplete Album' view.

Or you could use that.  ;)

That's pretty cool. I didn't know it could do that. I mainly thought it was for duplicate files.

When I try this, I get zero tracks for any artist with multiple tracks.

Isn't that the idea?  That's what he wanted to get.

So you need the nudups feature to act on the current selection (your random list) rather than the whole library.  mmm.....Don't know but someone will.
