Playlist help - using playlist fields as parameters in another playlist
« on: March 05, 2008, 04:10:14 pm »
I have a playlist that returns a single track from complete albums based on various criteria.

I'd like to use the Album value from this playlist in another playlist to retrieve the complete album.

Is that possible?

if the 'single track' smart list returns just one, single track: playlist="single track playlist" ~a

if the 'single track' smart list returns a single track from many different albums: playlist="single track playlist" ~limit=1,-1,[album],[album artist (auto)] ~a
will pick one at random and return all tracks from that album.

-marko.

Excellent, thanks.  I didn't see the "Expand to full albums" option before.
