Need Help With Advanced Category Using Expression in View Scheme
« on: November 16, 2009, 09:53:56 am »

Here's the real-life issue I am trying to solve:  I want to ensure that within each [Album Artist] - [Album] in my Library the [Copyright] tag is the same for all tracks.

Can someone help me with an "if,then" Expression that will output "Same" if the [Copyright tag] is the same within the [Album Artist] - [Album], and "Different" if otherwise?

With such an Expression, I can set up a view to monitor this every now and then.

Thanks in advance!

i would do something like this

1) add empty view
2) customize it, add pane/category "expression"  [Album Artist] - [Album]
3) switch to detailedview: view as\more\expression details
4) add columns including "[Album Artist] - [Album]" and copyright
5) sort by copyright, if different it will show [Varies]
6) view and monitor this every now and then  :)

Wow, thanks, that's amazing.  Been using MC for 5 years now and never knew it could do that.  Goes to show you the power of this application!

It's also about the power of the people who use it.  Thanks, Lasse_Lus!
