Title: Locating Albums With 4 Tracks or less
Post by: drc on April 13, 2012, 08:32:54 am

How do i create a smartlist that locates complete albums with 4 or less tracks?

I have several complete Albums (which only has 3 tracks) That I would like to label Maxi CD's.

So, i would like to create a smartlist to identify all of them.

Thanks

You can copy/paste each of these via the Import/Export button in Edit Smartlist to create the smartlist.

1. Create a smartlist named: Tracks 5

   [Media Type]=[Audio] [Track #]=5 [Disc #]=<2 ~sort=[Album Artist (auto)],[Album],[Track #],[Name]

2. Create a smartlist named: Tracks 1

   [Media Type]=[Audio] [Track #]=1 [Disc #]=<2 ~sort=[Album Artist (auto)],[Album],[Track #],[Name]

3. Create a smartlist named: At Least 4 tracks

  playlistid==Tracks 5 smartlist,Tracks 1 smartlist ~sort=[Album Artist (auto)],[Album],[Track #],[Name] ~dup=[Album Artist /(auto/)],[Album] ~limit=-1,1,[Album Artist (auto)],[Album]

Where you select Tracks 5 smartlist,Tracks 1 smartlist from the pulldown in the Edit Smartlist dialog.

4. Create a smartlist named: Albums <= 4 Tracks

  Playlists is any Tracks 1
  Playlists is not any At Least 4 tracks

This builds a list of albums that have a Track 5 (one greater than your request), builds another list of albums from Track 1, and the third list displays only Artist/Album duplicates from the two lists by outputting only 1 of the duplicates.

You may need some tweaks depending up on your circumstances.

Note: I correct my post above, as the original post showed the opposite of what you wanted.  Step 4 inverts the results.
