I want to tidy up my filestore a little and want to build a smartlist which lists all entries whose Filename (path) does not contain the [artist] eg show all folders whose name is different to the artist being stored in the folder.

The obvious:

-[Filename (path)]=[artist]

Doesn't work...

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Mark

you could make a smartlist with all songs and make an expression collumn with:

if(isequal([Filename (path)],[Artist],8),yes,no)

when the value is 'no' the artist is not in the filename (path)

when you want to use it often you can make an user library field with this rule and a smartlist that selects on 'no'.

maybe using [Album Artist (auto)] instead of artist could be an idea.

That worked!

Small update: using test 7, eg

if(isequal([Filename (path)],[Artist],7),yes,no)

Gives better results as it catches differences with foreign characters, eg e vs é etc...
