Title: Create smartlist for unique tracks on a single album as compared to other albums
Post by: p7389 on September 22, 2008, 03:01:17 pm

Best of album X contains a lot of things that are found on regular albums A, B, C, but also some rarities. I want to create a smartlist that takes album X, compares the track titles with those found on A, B, C, and then filters out those tracks, leaving only the unique stuff. Is there a smart way of doing this? If I just take all the albums and set a no duplicate rule, I have no control over which duplicate disappears, and I get a list with a lot of stuff I don't want in it anyway.

Regards,

Here's a work-around... there is likely a more graceful answer:

Playlist 1:
- All the songs from albums A, B, C, and X
- Only Duplicates of Name

Playlist 2:
- All the songs from X
- specify Playlist is not Playlist 1

...then Playlist 2 should show you what you're looking for.  Tuck Playlist 1 in a sub-folder somewhere out-of-sight.

You could manually stack the files appearing on X with their duplicates on A,B,C. Then showing album X after would only list unique files.
