Hi all,

this has probably been asked and answered before, but for the life of me I can't find the answer:

How do I display and album that contains only one track (which may have any or no track#)?

Thanks!

This might get you close to what you want:

1. Create a calculated user field with this rule: [Album Artist (auto)] - [Album]
   Give it a friendly name, for example: Auto Artist - Album .

2. Create a smartlist with this rule: [Media Type]=[Audio] ~dup=[Auto Artist - Album]

3. Create another smartlist that excludes the files that are in the first smartlist. (Playlist - is not any - the name of the first smartlist)

I'll give it a whirl. Many thanks Alex!

this is a nice solution. i do think though that you do not need a calculated field. make a smartlist with the rule:

Code: [Select]

[Media Type]=[Audio] ~dup=[Album],[Album Artist /(auto/)]should be enough. and then proceed with step 3.

but i could be wrong.

...  i do think though that you do not need a calculated field.  ...  but i could be wrong.

You are correct, but the [Album Artist (auto)] - [Album] field is useful for many purposes. It could be one of the default fields. Then I would not need to constantly explain how to create it.

This worked a treat, but i changed one thing

Dont do step 1

instead of ...
[Album Artist (auto)] - [Album]

i just have ...
[Album]

because i do have some albums that has various artists.

Your solution was simple now i think about it.
Many thanks
