Hi,

I'm looking for some help using the album list panel with 0.9 (already used and abused of the search function) :

Let's assume I have an album with three main artists (the genre is for example Jazz). I put each of them in the tag %artist%. Then I look at the album list panel (under, for example, Jazz) and I see the album 3 times. I don't want that.

Here's my
CODE

%<genre>%|[$if2(%<album artist>%,%<artist>%)]|[$num(%date%,4)] - [%album%]|[[%disc%.][$num(%tracknumber%,2).]]$if2(%title%,%_filename_ext%)


The tag %artist% is for example "Miles Davis\John Lee Hooker\Taj Mahal" and the %genre% is "Soundtrack":
--> I don't want one entry with "Miles Davis,John Lee Hooker,Taj Mahal" in the list
--> I want to be able to select the album under "Miles Davis" or "John Lee Hooker..."
--> I want to see the album only one time when I list the genre "Soundtrack"

I hope my english is clear enough ;o)

Thanks in advance for any tip !

you might want to read the wiki article on the Album List syntax.

Basically, you'll want to change:

CODE
[$if2(%<album artist>%,%<artist>%)]

to:

CODE
[%album artist%]


Note that %<artist>% will create separate entries for each "artist" tag, as you noticed. Also note that just "%album artist%" accomplishes what you had before, due to field remappings.

edit: I'm sorry, I didn't read your entire post before I wrote my answer above. My suggestion above goes against your first request (you don't want one entry with "Miles Davis,John Lee Hooker,Taj Mahal"). To be honest, I'm not sure how to do what you're asking blush.gif

You used to be able to change the caption on the album list panel in 0.8.3. Is this possible on 0.9?
