Title: Smartlist, 2 Songs per Artist, Randomly Grouped by Artist
Post by: AlreadyFree on December 02, 2018, 01:56:55 pm

I'm trying to build a playlist that plays two randomly chosen songs per artist. I've come up with this:

[Media Type]=[audio] -[Genre]=[Comedy],[Spoken Word],[Xmas] ~limit=-1,2,[artist] ~dup=[Artist] ~sort=[Artist]

I want the songs to be grouped by artist but I don't want the playlist to be in alphabetical order. Anybody have any suggestions on how to achieve this? I've pretty much run out of ideas. I also might want to set it so that each song by the same artist has to be from a different album but can't think of a way to achieve that either.

I don't think that is possible - doubtless someone will come along and prove me wrong.
