I'm attempting to build a smartlist that shows all artists who have inconsistent genres, expanding the results to full albums for tag editing.

My current attempt:

[Media Type]=[Audio] -[Album Artist (auto)]=[/(Multiple Artists/)] ~sort=[Artist] ~nodup=[Genre],[Artist] ~dup=[Artist] ~a

Displays at most two albums by an artist with inconsistent genres due to the restrictions of 'Only Duplicates' returning two results at most.

What I really need is something like a modifier 'Only Multiples' (eg Only Multiples of [artist]) which strips out all single entries, leaving all entries with more than one of the specified field.

I could then expand that list to full album and do all my retagging in one swoop for a given artist rather than continually refreshing the results after each edit.

Anybody?

Cheers,

Mark

Don't know how this could be achieved in MC, maybe one of the "Smartlist Wizards" here can help.

For this kind of stuff, i'm importing a MC XML library export into Access (or MySQL, SQLite), and do some magic with SQL commands. With some simple scripting (i'm using VBScript, because i'm too stupid for any scripting/programming language other than BASIC-variants (; ) it's quite easy to identify data inconsistencies, and either fix them manually in MC, or by XML/MPL import.

I may have solved it myself:

[Media Type]=[Audio] -[Album Artist (auto)]=[/(Multiple Artists/)] -[Genre]=[Podcast] ~sort=[Artist] ~nodup=[Album],[Artist],[Genre] ~dup=[Album],[Artist] ~a

Seems to do what I want!

Just needed to approach the dup/nodup stuff from a different angle.

[edit]Actually the above only works within an album, not across and artists albums.  Still work to do then[/edit]

OK:

[Media Type]=[Audio] -[Album Artist (auto)]=[/(Multiple Artists/)] ~sort=[Artist] ~nodup=[Artist],[Genre] ~dup=[Artist] ~a

Does what I want.  I think!
