Title: Playlist/View Scheme question
Post by: aussie1 on December 24, 2003, 03:50:16 pm
I have a playlist which contains four songs from four separate albums.  Based on this list of songs, I want to create a view scheme that contains the entire album for each of the songs in the playlist (four full albums).  Any idea what the syntax should be?

Actually, my previous question was easy. Set the modifiers as the playlist and full album.

Suppose I have three playlists and I want to create one view scheme. Its easy to create a view scheme that contains all of the albums associated with songs in the three playlists.

But now, I want to to use the view panes as filters. All would include all of the albums associated with the files in the three playlists. Then I could select one "Playlist source" and it would filter such that only albums associated with songs on that playlist are visible.

Is this possible?

I think what you need is to add Playlist as a view pane.

That should do it, or I'm not understanding your need.

Hope this helps.

Not sure if you can do that.
I am trying to make, what I think is a relatively simple smartlist, but cant seem to get it to work.

I have a Artist/Album smartlist which is fine for normal use, but when using Hairstyle takes agest to navigate.
I want a smartlist that groups the artists Alphabetically (easily done by ticking Grouping) and then expands and shows the albums by that artist.

This way i can easily look for an artist, then an album, select all tracks and play them.
Anyone know how this can be done?
Cheers
