For tunes in the Inbox, <Artist> fills in <Album Artist> when <Artist> has a value and <Album Artist> is null.  I was trying to find and correct files with their <Album Artist> fields having null values.  I tried creating an autoplaylist just for that: setting the inbox as the music tracks source and "Album Artist" has no value.  Unfortunately, those with null <Album Artist> didn't show up and I think I found out why in the screenshot below.  For compilations and inbox tracks, the latter usually intended to be edited by the user, I do not find the default behavior too helpful.

This has always been the case, although I thought there was a solution for it recently. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Edit: I've come up empty so far...

Edit the second: Aha! Here's what I was looking for.  I verified that it still works.

Edit last: also check Tips & Tricks thread, there's another method there.
