Title: Smarlists broken on MC10
Post by: jimclark on January 12, 2004, 12:06:09 pm
About 2 revisions ago, I noticed that when I played one of my album smartlists, I was getting images displayed simultaneously. After investigating I found that the broken smartlist, which is based on another smartlist, which DOES NOT have the images in it.  Here are the smartlists:

All Music Track 1:
Media Type: Audio, Track #: =1, Not Genre: Seminar
(when I look at this list, there are only audio files)

All Albums:
Playlist: All Music Track 1, Modifier: Full Albums, Sort: [Random]
(this list has all my music albums AND my images!)

Looks like a bug to me.  :(

That's what full albums does -- it expands a set of files to a larger set of files.  This is by design. (and desired sometimes -- think if you have some images and audio that are artist: aerosmith / album: big ones -- the smartlist should get both)

In this case, I'm guessing you've got empty albums.  In the first playlist, add -Album=[]

Dang. That makes sense. Your suggestion worked too. Thanks Matt, I get it now.  ;D

Depending on what you are looking for, you may have been wanting to use [Complete Album]==1[/b] (this will list only complete albums - as MC sees them... check this thread (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=17985;start=msg123884#msg123884) for details).
