Finding songs in folder tree not on any playlists
« on: January 29, 2023, 10:12:52 pm »

Hello,

I'm still a pretty low-level user of JRiver. I did a re-install without manually backing up my library. Luckily I only lost two day's worth of added music. I keep track of my music pretty exclusively via playlists, and I was hoping there was a way to find songs in my folder tree that aren't on ANY playlists.

Thanks for any help!

Installing won't cause any problems with your library.  You can restore a backup.  MC makes them automatically.  Search for zip files.

Select a list that includes all of your music.
Copy the code below and paste it into the search bar in the top right corner.
Code: [Select]
[=isempty(fileplaylists())]=1
The list should reduce. The files now showing in the list are those that are not on any playlist.

If it doesn't look correct, look for playlists in a group named recent playing nows. These are automatically generated by MC. Delete them (the playlists, not the files) and repeat the steps above.

That search command works perfectly! Thanks again. I'll note that I had to clear the playlists "recent playing nows" and "recently imported"

You can use this one without having to clear the Recent lists:
[=isempty(listremove(fileplaylists(),recent,2))]=1
