Title: Smartlist question
Post by: joe mama on August 29, 2002, 03:46:59 pm

I have a lot of tracks in my library that are remakes of other songs.  I am using the custom 3 field to list the name of the original artist.  I would like to create a smartlist that will only show tracks that have an entry in the custom 3 field.  This is what I've come up with:

custom3="a","e","i","o","u"

Is there a better way to do this?

for some strange reason, -c3="" is showing all tracks with a custom 3 setting.

Hi Joe,

hmm.  I include (bob dylan cover) at the end of my title field, so my smartlist just looks for "cover)" and voila.

Can you add the word "cover" or "remake" or something in one of your other custom fields?

Or what if you set your smartlist to look for empty fields in custom 3, and set it to ignore those?  I think it would look something like this:  ~custom3=""  but I'm not exactly sure.  Fiddle with it.  To search for an empty, I think you just have to search for "" (it's in the help file).  That might be your best bet.

-custom3="" works great!  Thanks.
