Title: Struggling with expressions - finding all album artists that have varying genres
Post by: magnust on August 28, 2013, 01:13:52 am

I read the wiki. Tinkered for quite some time but nooooo  :P  Can't get anything to do this.

What I want is to find all artists that have albums under varying genres. It's a housekeeping thing, when adding a new album sometimes I enter another genre for an artist that are borderline between different genres. Sometimes I want it to be like this, a pop artist makes a jazz album. Okay. But one album of a progressive rock artist is mistakenly given another genre like Alternative.

If I had such a list for this I could see both the correct ones and the incorrect ones and fix the latter.

You can also use a modified version of this:

where you'll change Name to Genre.
