Hello,

I made an auto playlist that shows albums with 3 star rating and above.
An album with no-rating appears in this list, it shouldn't. Right click, Rating Album, Not Rated is ticked. I can't find why this album appears in this list. Any ideas?

Does the album have the same name as a another album that matches the criteria? That's the only think I can think of off the top of my head.

If that isn't it, please post screenshots of the playlist settings and the tags on that album.

You are absolutely right! There are 2 albums with the title "The Ultimate Collection" from different artist, although the one is not ranked yet. When i renamed the one of them, it disappeared from the list.  I suppose the problem is that i chose "selected by album" as you can see in the screenshot



What do you think is the best option for my purpose? Should i choose "by work"? I want to show me albums, but if some of them have the same title (like it happened), i want to separate them by artist. I mean, don't bring me albums that i have not ranked yet, only because it has the same title with some other artist's album.

I would start by making sure that in Sorting/Grouping preferences, the fields that define an album include both Album and Album Artist. If not, I expect updating that would fix it.

If those are both already included, this is at least an unexpected result, if not a bug per se.

The Sorting/Grouping had only Album Name as an option. I added also Album Artist and the problem solved. Thank you very much for the tip!
