i have a folder named "MPC full albums" and another named "MP3 miscellaneous".
MP3 Miscellaneous contains various song of various artist taken by various album. files have only tag "artist" and "title".

1) in Album list view by artist/album, it is possible to say "even if the song has no album, SHOW the element with name "miscellaneous" and artist "VA". Like this:
Album list - view by artist/album:
+Bjork - Vespertine
+VA - Miscellaneous <---------

how to?

2) in Album list view by artist, i would like not to show the artist for MP3 miscellaneous (in fact, it is possible that i have only 1 or 2 song for that artist, and for this reason i would like not to show it). only show, if no album tag, VA and than the list of songs.

it is possible?i'm able to do something with formatting string but this is a bit hard for me

about 1 hour to do this but finally it works

a good solution to manage songs with no album tag nor tracknumber (misc songs):

+ Artist - Album
01 - track
+ VA - Miscellaneous
+ Artist
track

CODE

$if(%ALBUM%,%ARTIST%,VA) - $if2(%ALBUM%,Miscellaneous)|$if(%DISCNUMBER%,Disc

$num(%DISCNUMBER%,1),)|$if($and($not(%ALBUM%),%ARTIST%),%ARTIST%,)|$if(%TRACKNUMBER%

,$num(%TRACKNUMBER%,2) -,) $if2(%title%,%_filename_ext%)
