Title: Smartlist that plays one random album [solved]
Post by: Bengi010 on July 13, 2013, 08:57:33 pm

Can someone help me create a smartlist that will pick one album at random from my collection and play it in it's entirety in order?

Try this:
[Media Type]=[Audio] ~n=1 ~a

Thanks Matt, but for some reason that only gets me one song at random, not the whole album

~a should expand to a full album.

I can't think why it wouldn't work.

Do you have clean file tags (album, artist, track #) and store each album in its own folder?

yes, I have everything tagged fully and each album is in it's own folder inside the artist folder

Maybe I'm using your formula wrong... I create a new smartlist and click the import/export button then paste it there... is there somewhere else I should use it?

Nevermind, I looked again and the ~a was missing somehow.  I added it and it works perfectly now.  Thanks!

Glad you got it going.

The Copy Paste Monster is one of my worst enemies too :)
