Title: How Do I Create A Playlist For Export That Shows Artist & Albums but NOT Songs?
Post by: bhahn on August 30, 2019, 10:35:36 am

I'm trying to export a playlist showing Album Artist, Artist, Album Name and Year but I do NOT want individual songs, just each album by artist. How do I go about this?

Thanks!

Bill

Make a list with what you want.

Then make a smart list which contains this list:  "Playlist (is any) (your playlist here, picked from dropdown list)
Now add a rule that says "remove duplicates of (Album)"

That will leave you with just one song from each album.  If you simply ignore the song name, you now have a list of albums and their artists.

All of the above "rules" are done through the wizard.  You don't literally type what I show above.  You pick these things from the available rules and fields in the wizard. 

Good luck.

Brian.

Thanks for this. I'm pretty dumb with this. How do I create the smartlist from the playlist?
