Title: Smart Lists (One Idea Driving Me Crazy)
Post by: bbuckeye on January 04, 2008, 07:20:25 pm
A friend and I have tried and tried to create a specific smartlist and can't quite get the return we want.

We're looking for the most played song from each album with 1 or more plays.  Will do this for artist as well.  Sounds simple, but can't get it to return properly.  I'll save you the time of listing all the variations we tried.  Anybody have any suggestions?

Here's the last thing we tried:

[media type]=audio [number plays]=>0 ~seq=[number plays] ~limit=-1,1,[Album] ~sort=[seq]-d

It's close, but I think this returns "a song" with more than 0 plays from each album.. not the "most' played from each album.

We've also tried - But does not work right.

[number plays]=>1 ~seq=[number plays] ~limit=-1,1,[Album] ~limit=-1,1,[Artist] ~sort=[seq]-d ~n=100 -[genre]=Classical,Christmas_Music,Speech,Unassigned,Marching,Full_Concert

This should work:

[Media Type]=[Audio] [Number Plays]=>0 -[Album]=[] ~sort=[number plays]-d,[name] ~limit=-1,1,[Album]
