Title: Smartlist for Title Tracks
Post by: jbrotherlove on April 01, 2006, 02:08:01 am
Hey everyone. I've used MC for years but I've just started to get into Smartlists. It's like a whole new world!

I want to make a Smartlist that displays all songs that are the title tracks. In other words, songs like "Purple Rain" or "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" would be included but not "Let's Go Crazy" or "The Boho Dance". I've tried variants of [name]=[album] but that isn't working. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something simple. Can anyone enlighten me?

?

What you need is an advanced expression. If you copy/paste the following into a new smartlist, you should get the results you're after...

[=isequal([name],[album],1)]=1

-marko.

Wow, marko! That's exactly what I wanted.
Are advanced espressions documented somewhere?

Interesting, seems to work pretty well.

But there are always irregularities and I wonder if MC could someday find fields that are similar but not exact, so that we could sync them up so to speak.  I'm sure there are some songs that are misspelled from the album.

This is a sorely lacking feature in a tags dependent library.

Fuzzy search or sounds like.

Soundslike([Name] or [Artist])

..done :)
