Title: Smartlist of Live Bands
Post by: Eldan on June 12, 2008, 01:26:38 pm

I am looking to create a smartlist from bands which i have seen live (of which there are quite a few). This won't be too difficult. But i am wondering how to tag the artists i have seen. In an ideal world it would be nice to just have a tick box to say i have seen them, but my idea is just to put something like 'live' in the description tag and create a smartlist with description = live, limit number to 30 & remove duplicates of artist.
I was just wondering if anybody else has created such a list and how did you do it?

Thanks

I haven't done this, but if I were to, I'd probably use a regular playlist.

Using the playlist action window it is a breeze to select a bunch of files then a simple tick in the playlist window to add them.

After that, you could play the list shuffled, or build smartlists that key from that playlist.

p=live ~nodup=[artist] ~n=30

If you haven't discovered the playlist action window yet, open the tag window in the bottom left corner and click on playlists.
