Best of one artist smartlist
« on: August 19, 2004, 08:18:22 pm »

Hi,
I want to make an automatic "best of" smartlist that takes one artist and puts all of his/her 4 and five star songs into it. And i want it the artist to be random, so that whenever i refresh it, it give me a new artist. But i dont know how to use the limit rule to achieve this. Could anyone help?

Thanks,
Bri

Thanks for the idea. Basing on this I have a few more smartlists now.

Can you share them?  You could just paste the code like park did above.

Nice smartlist.  I really like this one. If only there were a way to restrict it to artists that have at least n tracks rated n or greater it would be even better.

Here's another one:

Quote
~sort=[Random] [Rating]=>=3 -[Decade]=[],[40s],[50s] ~limit=-1,1,[Artist] ~limit=-1,2,[Decade]

This assumes that you have a custom tag called Decade (if you haven't set one up).  It selects 10 tracks rated at least 3 - 2 from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's.
