Title: Media Type Smartlist Help
Post by: dragyn on January 04, 2004, 09:54:53 pm
trying to make a smartlist that will only show artists that have all three media types (audio, image, and video) associated with them. for some reason I can't figure this out.

I can make a view scheme with artist and media type and look at each one and see if media type column shows all 3 but there has to be a better way.

any ideas?

Right-click, choose Add View Scheme, in Step 4 of the View Scheme properties click the down arrow and choose Add Preset/Audio Only. Then click on Media Type: Audio and put a check in the appropriate boxes on the Select Media Type(s) dialog.

Thanks for the reply but that doesn't work. I don't think it's possible in MC right now to cross reference fields.

Audio File: Artist: A
Video File: Artist: A
Image File: Artist A

Show only A if all 3 exist.

Of course, after rereading my post, I realize that it wouldn't work the way you are intending. It might be possible using File Type instead of Media Type. I can't test it because I don't have any image or video files in my library.
