Smartlist that plays one random album [solved]
« on: July 13, 2013, 08:57:33 pm »

Can someone help me create a smartlist that will pick one album at random from my collection and play it in it's entirety in order?

Thanks Matt, but for some reason that only gets me one song at random, not the whole album

~a should expand to a full album.

I can't think why it wouldn't work.

Do you have clean file tags (album, artist, track #) and store each album in its own folder?

yes, I have everything tagged fully and each album is in it's own folder inside the artist folder

Maybe I'm using your formula wrong... I create a new smartlist and click the import/export button then paste it there... is there somewhere else I should use it?

Nevermind, I looked again and the ~a was missing somehow.  I added it and it works perfectly now.  Thanks!

Glad you got it going.
