smartlist - a little help please
« on: January 08, 2015, 12:01:12 pm »

I want to restrict the number of Live tracks shown in my smartlist. I have a Genre=Live.
How can I tell my smartlist to display fewer tracks of the Live Genre.
thanks,

Well you can limit the number.  It's at the bottom of the Smartlist dialog "Limit number to".

It makes a rule like:
~n=10

Sorry, I should have said this is a "mix tape" and I want to reduce the number of Live songs in the mix.

Using the above number reduces the whole list down to say 10% rather than just the Genre=Live.

You can use ~mix and specify exact percentages...there's a lot of info on the forums about it, I'm on my phone so can't detail more right now

Thanks ferday, yeah I found bits of info about ~mix, but with ratings. I tried but I dunno how to correctly specify ~mix for my Genres.

I tried this:
~mix=2000,10%,{[Genre]=[Live]}

All I get is 2000 Live tracks. I want a mix of 2000 tracks of which just 10% are Live.

i've never tried it, but maybe ~mix=2000,10%,{[genre]!=[live]}

that may get you not equal [live]?
