I'd like to get a list of all Artists / Albums in my Library I have that are NOT WMA Lossless - any ideas if there is such an expression?  I can do it by file type (eg easy to seperate my WMA from FLAC from MP3 but how do I seperate out my WMA Lossless from WMA?)
Thanks
Nathan

-[Compression]=[VBR Quality 100 /(WMA 9.2 Lossless/)] [File Type]=[wma]

The above search works with recent WMA Lossless files. Check the values in the Compression field.

EDIT

This might work with all WMA Lossless versions:

-[Compression]=[VBR Quality 100" [File Type]=[wma]

really dumb q - I've never run an expression, how do I do it?

Hi Alex - thanks but follow up - I think I need the opposite as I'm after a list of all file that are NOT WMA Lossless

Paste the string in the search box
    or
paste the string in the smartlist editor's Import/Export box (press the Import/Export button to open it)
    or
create a new view scheme and add the rule to Advanced > Set rules for file display > Import/Export
    or
just add a new smartlist and use the editor (aka wizard). Add new rules for the Compression and the File Type fields.

The minus sign in the beginning means "is not".

For instance,  -[Compression]=[VBR Quality 100" [File Type]=[wma]    means:
The value of the Compression field does not start with VBR Quality 100 and the value of the File Type field is wma.

Thanks Alex!  I've got what I need.
