I know these have been here before but I searched and couldnt find them

How do I make a smartlist for:
1) Random Album
2) One Hit Wonders
3) Random Artist with only 3 star + songs displayed?

thanks!

Hi there,

Random Album: [Media Type]=[Audio] ~n=1 ~a (This basically picks a random track from audio and then chooses the whole album that the track is linked to.)

One Hit Wonders: I would just add onehit as a keyword to those tracks.  Can't see anyway to auto choose them...

Random Artist...: ot sure on this one...I'll have a think
might need a smartlist to randomly pick an artist then one to pick the tracks based on that
this would give one track by a random artist: ~sort=[Random] ~n=1. not sure how to use this to pick the tracks though

Hope this helps

Here's a clean way to do limits:

3) Random Artist with only 3 star + songs displayed?

I think this one will work:

~limit=1,-1,[Artist] [Rating]=>=3 ~sort=[random] [Media Type]=[Audio]

Every time you perform this smartlist, it will chose one random artist from the library and show only the songs rated 3 or above.

I got it from a post here in the forum but unfortunately I don't recall the poster.

Hope it helps.
