I need a filter for files where Artist not equal to Band
« on: December 07, 2007, 12:47:30 pm »

I've been trying to create a search / filter / playlist to show files where Artist field is different than Band field.

Anybody knows how to do this?

One easy way is to:

1) Right-click the column headers on any view (or use the view header menu)
2) Pick Columns > Add Expression Column...
3) Type this for the expression:
IsEqual([Artist], [Band])
4) Sort by the column -- "1" means they're the same

You could also set that up as a database field, then create a smartlist that only shows files where that field = 1.

You can also just type this search, based on the same expression:
[=IsEqual([Artist], [Album])]=[1]
