Is there a way to print out a list of Artist/CD for inventory purposes?

bodell3:
I would like to be able to print out or email a list of all of my inventory by artist/CD....kind of like printing out the directory tree.  This way i can quickly reference whether or not I already own a cd before I buy it.


thanks

MrC:
Create the view you want (eg. columns, sort order, desired database, etc.) and File->Export playlist...  Export in a format that suits your needs.

Here's my reply from five years ago:

First make a smartlist using this rule:

[Media Type]=[Audio] ~limit=-1,1,[Filename (path)]

Then customize your view for that smartlist like this:



The smartlist should now look like this:



You can print a file list directly or if you like to you can select all and copy-paste to e.g. Excel for adjusting your printout.

MrC:
In MC 15, I have a smartlist showing my CD database which does similar.  I don't have an MC 14 version that I can confirm, so I'm not sure it works the same way.

This allows me to select the sort order quickly, select that columns I want to see, etc.

Alex B:
The CD database list is a good solution if MC has ripped or at least seen all CDs (with tag data) and if no albums are from on-line stores.

Here is a way to do it by using the "no duplicates" modifier. The custom library field, "Album Artist - Album", is a calculated field that is based on the rule [Album Artist (auto)] - [Album].

See the attached screenshots.

Log in to the forum if you can't see the attachments.

EDIT

The smartlist rule:
[Complete Album]=1 [Media Type]=[Audio] [Disc #]=<=1 ~d=m ~nodup=[Album Artist - Album] ~sort=[Album Artist (auto)],[Date],[Album]
