Album list: "by folder structure" with different sort order

Reply #25 –
I've resolved my issue with the if statement and strstr functions. If anyone's interested this is how I did it:
$if($strstr(%path%,'H:\Music\---'),'---'|%artist%|%date% - %album%|%tracknumber%'.' %title%)$if($strstr(%path%,'Various Artists'),'Various Artists'|%album%|%tracknumber%'.' %title%)%artist%|%date% - %album%|%tracknumber%'.' %title%

Not knowing about the $strstr() function was the killer.

Interesting. I've recently dabbled with changing my library view, but unsuccessfully. I think the answer is in here; I'll have to mess around later when I have more time. Thanks for the info, at any rate.

I'd like to have a 2nd root folder in my library view, but have the 2 separated, tree-wise. Would the above string accomplish this? Here's a visual aid:

What I have now:



What I'd like:



(Note the Flac Music would expand the tree in the same manner as MP3 Music, on its own as well)

Current code I'm using to achieve the first image (& how I'd like each root folder to look, in the second image):

$swapprefix(%album artist%,The)|'['%date%']' - %album%|$if(%discnumber%,%discnumber%-,)$num(%track%,2) - %title%


Anyways, just wondering is it's possible (I tried before & failed, but I'm a noob with this kind of thing) & I'll muck around more later.
Keep up the good work - it's appreciated.  :]
The same except different.
