Title: Epression to find albums with 1 song
Post by: AustinBike on January 10, 2014, 02:30:36 pm

Hi,

Doing some maintenance to pare down my music library.  I have figured out how to clean out lots of odds and ends, but I still have thousands of albums, many of which probably only have 1 song.  Does anyone know of a good expression that will let me collect these into a view so I can decide if I need to delete them?

Almost universally these tracks will be marked as Incomplete albums.  See the Complete Album field:

Thanks! in my stupidity I also stumbled into another way.  View albums as a list and add the field "filename".  For albums with more than 1 song, the field returns [varies] but if there is only one song, it gives the file path.  Sort by that column and you have your list. That doesn't help with albums that have 2-3 songs, but that is less of a problem.
