I need help with playlist formatting!

i am currently using the playlist formatting (hopefully this will show up ok):
-------------------
$if(%_isplaying%,FFFFFF|FFFFFF,C0C0C0|CFCFCF)

$num(%_playlist_number%,$len(%_playlist_total%)).    [%artist%  -  ]

$if(%_isplaying%,FFFFFF|FFFFFF,C0C0C0|CFCFCF)

$if(%title%,%title%   

$if(%_isplaying%,FFFFFF|FFFFFF,C0C0C0|CFCFCF)

'['[%album%[ #[%disc%/]$num(%tracknumber%,2)]]']',%_filename_ext%)[   

$if(%_isplaying%,FFFFFF|FFFFFF,C0C0C0|CFCFCF)

%_length%]
--------------------

what i want to do is change it so rather than:
123.    artist  -  track                      [album #1]  1:23
it would be:
123.    artist  -  1  -  track                    [album]  1:23


i'm having trouble, though. i can get it to sort of work, but then album song # appears to be "00" if its not in the id3 info.

any help would be appreciated, thanks

Try this


$if(%_isplaying%,FFFFFF|FFFFFF,C0C0C0|CFCFCF)

$num(%_playlist_number%,$len(%_playlist_total%)). [%artist% - ]

$if(%_isplaying%,FFFFFF|FFFFFF,C0C0C0|CFCFCF)

[$num(%tracknumber%,1) - ]

$if(%title%,%title%

$if(%_isplaying%,FFFFFF|FFFFFF,C0C0C0|CFCFCF)

'['[%album%[ [%disc%/]]]']',%_filename_ext%)[

$if(%_isplaying%,FFFFFF|FFFFFF,C0C0C0|CFCFCF)

%_length%]

No problem. And in case you didn't notice, the thing you must have been doing wrong was that you didn't put brackets around the %tracknumber%. Another solution would have been $if2($num(%tracknumber%,1),) but I think [$num(%tracknumber%,1)] is more elegant
