search for duplicate album names
« on: October 01, 2016, 12:11:19 am »

Is it possible to construct a query that results in all albums being displayed that are named the same as another album?

Thanks for the links, but that's not really what I'm trying to do.

My task is more simple.

I'm basically trying to find files that share the same album name but do not share the same directory or filepath.

Thanks for any help!

You might try this.  Make a smart list and use this as the definition:

Code: [Select]
~nodup=[Album],[Filename /(path/)] ~dup=[Album]
Use the Import/Export dialog to paste in the expression.  Then save it.

That will probably get you close to what you are trying to do.
