Title: Scheme for Popular Artists?
Post by: martychen on June 27, 2008, 04:21:02 pm

Is it possible to create a scheme to show/order by the number of songs by an artist?  It would be neat to find out which are the most popular artist in my collection.  Thanks!

In the default "Audio" view scheme, pick "Artist" from the view menu.

Then, sort by "Track #" in the view menu.  This is the number of files in each artist.

I thought "Track #" was for the track number for each album?  Or is it for the total number of songs by an artist in this case?

I am away from my home computer so I don't have a way to test right now.

Never mind, it works great now!  It even works with the videos I have, I just have to select Artist instead of the "Pane".

Thanks!
