Tips and Tricks / Re: How to use the sub-grouping header

« on: September 03, 2020, 04:10:42 PM »

I re-arranged your code a bit to suit my weird display preferences, and got this, which is perfect:


But I also ended up with this, which isn't ideal, but I can deal with it (it will come up very rarely):


I assume this is because it is sorted by Sort Artist/Year/Disc-Track#, and so because there is no Disc# present in the Beatles example, it just orders them by Track#, making the <Side> display "ungrouped." This is by no means a deal-breaker for me. I just wanted to point it out, and see if anyone had a Sort suggestion that might fix it.

I gotta say, I have not really found a way to sort it that I think is "perfect."
This is the best I could manage, though I do wish it went "Disc 01" and listed the regular tracks, then "Deluxe Edition - Disc 01" and listed those tracks (as opposed to the "regular" discs being grouped together, and the "Deluxe" discs being grouped together below them).

Thank you, that does it!! Visually separates the Deluxe and "regular" editions, including their individual discs, without actually splitting them into four separate entries in the albums listing. I have a LOT of Deluxe/special editions, and I really don't want a separate entry for each one. I just want a way to identify them and their individual discs and tracks!
Now I am going to work on my sorting settings so that the Deluxe Edition doesn't appear before the "regular" edition in the list!
Thank you again!

Ah, sorry. That's the <Side> tag. I use the <Side> tag to label Deluxe and other "special" editions, as well as which side of the tape/album older songs are on.

Below is a screenshot of an album wherein the "regular" album has two discs, and the Deluxe Edition has two discs; track #8 on Disc 01 here is actually from Disc 01 of the Deluxe Edition.
You can see that it "lumps" the two discs together, displaying only the Disc#, not the sub-heading I want (which I have as a Custom Tag called <Side>):


This is the Custom Tag I have set up. I sort of know what's wrong; it has to do with the fact that both the "regular" and the Deluxe editions have Disc#s present, and are therefore showing the Disc# as opposed to the <Side> tag, but I am not quite sure what to do about it:
$If(<Disc Count>>1,$IsNull(<Disc#>,<Side>,"Disc "<Disc#>),)


What I wish it did was have the sub-heading as: "Disc 01" (with tracks from the "regular" edition below it) and then a separate sub-heading "Deluxe Edition - Disc 01" with the Deluxe Edition tracks (in this case, track #8) below that. And then the same for Disc 02.

I am absolutely in love with this method for visually separating Deluxe (and other "special") versions from "regular" versions of albums.
But I have run into a snag when there is a Deluxe version with TWO discs. So, if the regular version has two discs, AND the Deluxe version has two discs. This leaves me with Disc 01 and 02 showing as sub-headers, but nothing indicating the the Subtitle of "Deluxe" for the songs from the Deluxe version.
What I'd like is for it to show "Disc 01" for the songs from the "regular" Disc 01, and then (separately) "Deluxe Version, Disc 02" if an album has a Subtitle of Deluxe and a Disc 02 present.
Thank you!

Questions / Re: Auto-Playlist of Highlighted Songs?

« on: August 06, 2020, 03:11:38 AM »

I use the highlights for two reasons:
--Visually identify "issue" tracks in my Inbox (before being added to the Library, to make sure I correct the issues before I import them).
--Visually identify tracks with issues that already made it to the Library, so I can fix them as I come across them.

It would just be nice to have a playlist that gathers ALL the "issue" tracks for me to review on days that I feel ambitious, and want to try to correct a bunch at once.

Oh, I was hoping to use the playlist to *gather* the highlighted songs into one easy-to-scroll location, so just re-creating them in the playlist kinda defeats the purpose of the exercise. Thank you, though!

Questions / Auto-Playlist of Highlighted Songs?

« on: August 05, 2020, 09:56:53 PM »

I use highlighting rules to distinguish songs with "issues," such as incorrect filenames, missing tags, etc.
I'd like to make an auto-playlist that includes ALL songs that are affected by highlighting rules.
I am aware of the <Highlight> tag, but can't seem to make it function as a true/false type of tag, where I can use an IF statement to make something like IF<Highlight>="true","X") and then use that to form an auto-playlist of all highlighted songs.
Thank you!
