Title: Can you view Album only in Playlist?
Post by: MrVegas on October 15, 2003, 09:06:23 pm
Right now the only playlist I have is for my iPod.  I can fit several hundred albums on it, so I need to add lots of albums to the playlist.  In MC9 when I click on the iPod playlist it shows the song names, artist, etc in the right pane.

I would like to be able to see only the albums so I can "quickly" see which albums I have added to the playlist.  Any ideas?

Go to any of the Media Library views and enter [Playlist]=<your playlist here> as the search rule. If you have a pane that shows Albums, that will be the list of albums in your playlist.

I don't understand what you are saying to do.

Can you give the "exact" steps to do in order to accomplish this?

Right now, under Media Library I have "Audio" and "Artist/Album"

Are you saying that I should add a search rule to that?  

Sorry, but  I need specific help on this one.  :(

.... on a related note ... how hard would it be to print the list of albums in a playlist to a file (excel)?

Click on Audio, or Artist/Album - it doesn't matter.

There is a little empty field just above the panes, with a little inverted ^ and the words "<search here>".

Click on the little inverted ^ - this should bring up a menu that says:

Add Rule >
Add Modifier >
Add Keyword >

etc...

Select Add Rule, then Playlist...

This will bring up a dialog listing all your playlists. Tick the checkbox next to your playlist.

Click OK.

If you have a pane that shows albums, this will now only show the albums that are in your playlist.

Search the forum on this. Or go back a few pages and look for Printing Library. It has been covered in depth.
