Title: mc11: Need help with custom View using expressions
Post by: rpalmer68 on March 26, 2005, 10:14:46 pm
Can somebody PLEASE help me;( or suggest a better way to do what I'm trying to do!)

I want to have tracks that feature 2 or more artists listed under each artist in a view, but also still have (multiple artists) albums listed under (multiple artists)

I have got the following tags set in MC

1) Artist - This is the featured/main artist for each track

2) Artists - This is a new list I have created listing each artist for a track on multiple artist tracks. EG "Tommy;JamesMorrison"
 - This tag will be blank if thre is only 1 artist on the track.


 I have created the following expression in a view scheme, which 1/2 works;

If(IsEqual([Artists],, 1), AlbumArtist(), [Artists])

This is outputting the individual track artist & (multiple artists) correctly, but for Artists it is showing "artist1;artist2", so the field isn't being treated as a list.

So I get something like:

(multiple artists)
Abba
ACDC
Sting
Tommy;JamesMorrison
Vince Jones

Instead of;
(multiple artists)
Abba
ACDC
James Morrison
Sting
Tommy
Vince Jones

Any suggestions?

Many thanks
Richard
