Hi All:
I have a smartlist that pulls 3 hours of tracks via ~t=160. Now is there a way to limit the number of tracks it selects from each album or artist? For example, I have a greater number of Ozzy Osbourne tracks than anything else and I get an over abundance of ozzy tracks in the smartlist. For example, the list will pull 10 ozzy tracks, but only 5 of the next artist even though there are more than 5 tracks under that artist. I tried ~%=25 but that limits the entire list to 25 % of the total hits.  I would like to be able to get a more evenly distributed smartlist; say pull 5 tracks from each artist that satisfies the smartlist rules.

Is there a way to do this currently (did I miss something in the doc) or is this a new feature request? I've use MJ for some time but rarely used SMARTLISTS prior to today.

Cheers,
dennis

Doesn't appear that the smartlist rules support nesting.

For instance...
The rule artist=[black sabbath",[mazzy star" ~n=10 or artist=[julee cruise"
shows this...
Artist: black sabbath,mazzy star
-----OR-----
Artist: julee cruise
Special: limit to 10 tracks
...in the Summary

The modifiers such as ~n, ~t, ~% apply to the list as a whole...as such you can only have one of them per smartlist, and the first one will override all others.
