Album Listing syntax help

Hi. Complete noob here.
I am trying to sort my library using the following syntax.
Code: [Select]
%samplerate%Hz · [$if($strcmp(%__encoding%,lossy),Lossy,%__bitspersample%bit)]|%album%|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%[ '['%samplerate%Hz']']
However, if the files are lossy, it doesn't returns "Lossy".

Tried using this one, which gave satisfactory results
Code: [Select]
%samplerate%Hz · [$if($strcmp(%__encoding%,lossy),%codec%,%__bitspersample%bit)]|%album%|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%[ '['%samplerate%Hz']']

What am I missing in the former one? Thanks in advance for any help

I'm pretty sure it's due to the square brackets. Nothing displays unless a field within is displaying info. It appears
$if($strcmp(%__encoding%,lossy),Lossy,....
doesn't qualify as %__encoding% is being used for the string comparison, but not to display anything.
For your second example, %codec% displays if the string comparison returns true, so that works with the square brackets. Lossy doesn't as it's just plain text. This should work with the square brackets.
$if($strcmp(%__encoding%,lossy),$caps(%__encoding%),....

By the way if a bullet looks better than a dot, the Alt code is Alt+7 (numeric keypad), or you can probably copy and paste this one.
%samplerate%Hz • [$if($strcmp(%
instead of
%samplerate%Hz · [$if($strcmp(%

Just a thought...
