You can also export the smartlist as a text file (File->Export playlist).

FYI,
I was the OP on that thread.

The first expression worked very well.

The 2nd, as written, will not include any albums that have a wonky value for disc#

I couldnt figure out why my list didnt show some albums I KNEW were in the library.  I think a few were one disc albums but the tag showed something other than "1" or "blank"

Garbage in, Garbage out! :-)

The expressions rely on the database fields being correct; if the tags are nonsensical, then of course the results will be too.

Mr C. 

Having only one disc of a 4 disc set, as I do with Bob Marley isn't nonsensical.

I was just pointing out why that expression might result in "missing" albums.

I changed the expression to include all discs.  Often Discs 2, 3 etc have unique tags like "Bonus Disc" or "Live" etc.  I dont mind seeing more than one entry on the list for an album in situations like that.

There are TONS of two disc sets that I dont care to have Disc 1 or 2 etc.... 

Anyway..........
