Hi there. I've been trying to create a virtual tag that displays (in the column browser) a list of all the artists (sorted alphabetically) where the tag "album artist" is null.

AZ =$IsNull(<Album Artist>,,$Group($Sort(<Artist>),1)) does not work, so I'm probably doing something wrong.

Does anybody know if it is possible to do so?
Thanks in advance!

Why do you need $Group() and $Sort()? Wouldn't something as simple as the following work for you?

$IsNull(<Album Artist>,,<Artist>)

Hello and thanks for your reply. When I try as you say I get a list with all the artists which also have an artist album tag. Just the opposite of what I'm trying to do, even though I can't tell why.

That's because ma_t14 made a small mistake. It should be $IsNull(<Album Artist>,<Artist>,). This will return Artist for every track where Album Artist has no value (which is what you want by the sounds of it).
Bold words in my posts are links unless expressly stated otherwise.
