Title: Smartlist expression to return only n number of songs from each artist
Post by: BryanC on April 13, 2019, 11:09:57 am

I've currently got a smartlist with about 100 different artists, each artist having one to maybe twenty tracks each. What I would like to accomplish is the creation of a sampler playlist where each artist only has n (probably one or two) songs each, chosen at random. I've spent some time using global variables, but I think that this one is beyond me.

Thanks! I didn't know that wiki page existed, I should've known there was an easier solution.
