This is my last one. I don't like cluttering up the board with these, but I actually do use them so here we go...

I want to build a 'Troubled Lps' smartlist. This smartlist will point out albums that have at least 3 low-rated songs (1 or 2 stars). So far, I've been able to use ~dup to help me find Lps with 2 bad songs, but I want to stretch it out to 3.

3 strikes and your out kind of thing.

One final rule: if the album has a 5 star song, I don't want it on the list.



Any ideas?

Yes. I can avoid further brain damage by referring to a Categories view of albums sorted by rating. This average rating is no more or less arbitrary a measure of something rather subjective (whatever "trouble" means to you) in the first place. I would wonder if an album with one 5-star track and the rest low-rated (with an average of, say, 2) is not more "troublesome" than one with three low-rated tracks and the rest 4-star (with an average of, say, 3).

I'm still curious to see how those with brain cells to spare will handle this one, however.

Hi Saucepan!

What rules do you use to filter albums with two or more 1or2-star tracks? i want to filter albums with more than one 4or5-star track, i can see how to use ~dup to filter albums with more than one 4 star track or with more than one 5 stat track, but the method i can see doesn't catch albums with one 4star and one 5star track...

Thanks!
