Hi all, issue with library organisation that I would like advice on!
My format is as follows:
Singles - genre then filtered by 3 star rating and above only.
Albums (Artist) - genre then album.
Albums (Compilations) - expression [Album] ([Year]).
Albums (Mixed) - genre then album.
All Music - genre.
Singles category houses my favourite tracks but I can also easily find a particular album, compilation or mixed album if desired.
Two things that I have not been able to achieve and would like advice on:
1) As Albums (Artist) is sorted by genre I am not able to have multiple genres within one album. Take "Dizzee Rascal - Showtime" (Genre: "UK Urban") as an example, I want the track "stand up tall" to appear in my singles category under Genre: "UK Garage". If the genre is changed the track will not remain linked to "Showtime" under the Albums (Artist) category.
Note: Albums (Compilations) using the expression allows multiple genres.
2) I have every "Now That's What I Call Music" compilation (Genre: "Pop"). This means tracks from 1983 to 2013 that are rated 3 star and above are listed under my singles category under "Pop". I'd like to separate "Pop" by a year grouping e.g. 1980's, 1990's, 2000's then 12/13 or something similar. I can achieve this in various ways, for example, renaming every tracks genre but I wonder if there is a better way. Also, I only want this rule to be implemented for Pop only and not the other genres listed under my singles category.
Are either possible? If not, what are my options?
Any help appreciated!
Richard
