Smart list expression
« on: April 08, 2012, 01:16:57 am »
Hi All,

I'm sure this is real easy but I have no idea how to write the expression.

Basically I want a smartlist that shows:

All songs where [artist] DOES NOT EQUAL [albumartist] but exclude various artists in the [albumartist] field. (Because I know they won't tie up any way)

Thanks
Simon.

[=isequal([album artist (auto)],[artist])]=0 -[Album Artist (auto)]=[/(Multiple Artists/)]

Paste that into the search window or the import box of a smartlist wizard...

How very coincidental, I was going to ask the same thing!
Do I just "-" other multiple artist tags? (eg Original Cast, London Cast, etc). Actually I would just want to also exclude any album artist containing "cast"...

To exclude any containing cast, append the term:

   -[Album Artist]="cast"

You may want a different artist field, such as [Artist] or [Album Artist (auto)], so use what works in your situation.
