Title: Advice: how to find duplicates in playlists
Post by: MarkCoutinho on February 02, 2003, 10:12:36 pm

Hi all,

To avoid domestic quarrels, I'd like to add a smartlist which includes two playlists:
- my favorites
- my girlfriend's favorites

which do include some duplicates, which should be the result of this query.

Anyone a suggestion how to define such a smartlist?

Thanks in advance

playlist=[his] or playlist=[hers]

Just type that in. You won't get duplicates in the smartlist because MC won't allow it.

You can use playlist="" to make a search that fits any of those criteria. Like if you had a playlist called 'History', "" would show those items aswell along with 'His' since they both start the same.

Thanks, mate

although the 'or' statement has to be 'and' in this case.

Thanks anyway! :)

you're right. I read it wrong. I thought you wanted all the songs played together as one.

I was just waking up so the caffeine wasn't working yet. yeah..that's what it is.  ;)
