Title: Get equivalent smartlist in J river since itunes? please help!
Post by: cron0sRXR8 on April 17, 2013, 01:36:04 pm

Hello,

I'm migrating my library of itunes 11 to J river 17 and I have some problems to import some itunes smartlist.

When you export the single itunes library have been exported the rating songs and normal lists, but not the smartlists. Then I'm creating the equivalent smartlists for J river.

I attached a screenshot of one of my itunes smartlist:

I attached a screenshot of the equivalent list of j river:

As you can see in the picture I don't know how to mark the albums with 5 stars for that they appear in the list. In itunes, when I wanted to import an album to a smartlist, I was to mark it with 5 stars this album. J river do not have rating album tag. Also in J river not appear the check option (for ticket items individually). I need this 2 things: album rating and ticket items. If j river not have this options I need a equivalence form for doing the same!

anyone can help me please?

Thanks and regards!

I explain better:

I want make an smartlist and I need simulate the "match only checked items" or "match only ticked items" of itunes. I've thought that I can use the custom field in j river for doing this.

What is the expression for show audio files that:
"Custom field == 1"

What is the code??

See:

   http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Smartlist_and_Search_-_Rules_and_Modifiers (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Smartlist_and_Search_-_Rules_and_Modifiers)

Specifically, look at Grouping and Combining:

To enter these in the GUI, hover the mouse to the left and right edge of a Rule, or use the constructs mentioned in the link above in the Import/Export button.

Hi,

Thanks for the links but I'm not a programmer  :P

You can say me what should be the code for do it this??

I try this but don't work:

custom    [custom]="1"

in the field I write "1" but this don't work.

I can make it easily with fields: comment, notes and description tags. But I should like do it with another tag. Is it possible?

Thank you!!!

PD sorry for my english!

Are you saying you have a field in your files that is named "Custom"?

There is a field named Custom (which appears just before Date in the list) and there is a custom rule entry point called "Custom" which appears first in the list -  I think you are probably using this one.  Use the one before Date.

It is unfortunate they are named the same.

Sorry but I don't understand you!  ?

It is correct?? the list you can see that don't work, show all, and the list should show only songs with custom = 1

Thank you!!

In your smart list wizard, change the Rule where you have chosen Custom.  Pull up the pick-list, and go further down the list until you see Date.  The field you want to chose is just above that, and it also happens to be named Custom.  Don't use the Custom that is the first item in the list - this does something else.

Once select, you should see other rule qualifiers such as Is Equal, Is Not Equal, Contains, etc.
