counter-limit & duplicates
« on: November 06, 2004, 02:47:27 pm »

Hi, i tried searching, but where either to specific, or not specific enough....

I'm trying to create a view scheme where MC displays ónly Artists in more than 1 Genre.

I'd figured 2 use ~dup/~nodup but that won't work, because ~nodup doesn't work as it should (for me), but as filter, to only show a duplicate file once.

limit also only deals with limits, not counterlimits (you can specify a max. of (for example) 2, but not for atleast[/] 2.

It should be fairly straightforward, but i seem to hit a wall with all options i try.
If anyone could point me to a complete set of operators available per function it's fine too, i'll figure it out then.

I made a bit of a mistake a while ago, and erased about 90% of my file info (TAG & FILENAME) on about 30% of my music collection (about 9500 songs), so i'm trying to make ANY sense of my music again, but it's driving me insane.....

I can't think of a way to do this currently with a smartlist.  Anyone else?

You may want to try the "Lookup Track Info from YADB" feature that uses the audio fingerprint to get at least some of the tag info back.

The way I achieved this was to first create a custom calculated library field [Artist Genre]. I then created the following smartlist: [Media Type]=[Audio] ~nodup=[Artist Genre] ~dup=[Artist] ~sort=[Artist].

Seems to work ok for me.
