Title: Filter view - artists with more than 3 songs
Post by: AustinBike on June 14, 2013, 08:51:50 am

I have about 50k songs and that works out to about 9k artists because I have a lot of compilations. I know how to filter out albums that are multiple artists in a view, and I have searched high and low for an answer for this.

I want to be able to create a view of artists where they have more than 3 songs. That should pull half of the artists out and make the list easier to manage.

Filtering out the multiple artist albums means that it shows radio head but I miss any songs that are on compilation albums.

Can anyone suggest a solution?  I tried this back in the mc11/12 days but am just getting back into mc after a long absence.

actually it's quite easy, you just add a Categories detailed View, group it on [Artist]
then you add [track #] to the list and sort by it..if you need more advanced you need help from
