Magic Nodes 4.2 w/ 380 masks & real GUI (2011-07-01)[MM2+]

[onenonymous]

Could you post a screenshot with such situation?

I did some experimenting - if I count using File Name, it works correctly. If I count using Tracks and there are multiple album artists, it increments the count for each artist. So - this code works:

Code: Select all

<Group|Name:Artists...>\Album Artist does not equal Artist|Icon:Top level|Filter:Songs.AlbumArtist <> Songs.Artist\<Album artist|Statistic:Count(Items), Count(File name)>\<Album|Statistic:Count(File name)>

and this code doesn't - notice it says "(2 tracks)" in the node:

Code: Select all

<Group|Name:Artists...>\Album Artist does not equal Artist|Icon:Top level|Filter:Songs.AlbumArtist <> Songs.Artist\<Album artist|Statistic:Count(Items), Count(File name)>\<Album|Statistic:Count(Tracks)>

Hi Zvezdand:

I need help with a node again. I would like to create a node that lists the tracks that has a DateAdded date different than the FileModified date. I am only interested in the date portion, not the time. Is this possible?

Have you tried:

Code: Select all

...|Filter:<Date added> <> <Date modified>\...

No I didn't, you are a GENIUS!!! Thank you.

There is a new release. Thanks to Risser, onenonymous and Big Isch for reports and their support.

How do you add a sql that says not like or does not contain, I tried UNLIKE/ NOT LIKE but neither works??

NOT LIKE should work. If you choose for example [Artist] [excludes] [something] from dropdown listboxes next to the Filter and when you click on the Add button you would get <Artist> Not Like 'something'. How looks your mask that doesn't work?

Here is what it is, I am trying to setup 5 filters that would identify tracks that need to have their ratings set, but I am getting an error. I have some genre's that are multi-valued but I want to exclude all genre's that include audiobooks:

Code: Select all

<Group|Name:Edits>\Missing 1 Star Rating|Filter: <Rating> <> 20  AND <Rating> <> 0  AND <Genre> NOT LIKe %'Audiobook%' AND <Played> = 1

Just a question - is it possible to have "nested" nodes using Magic Nodes ? By this I mean the ability to group nodes within nodes.

For example, I have a Magic Node to organise my music via genre:

Genre|child of:Artist\<Genre|Statistic:Count(Items)>\<Album Artist|Statistic:Count(Items)>\<Album|Sort by:Max(Year)|Statistic:Count(All)>

I have about 20 genres. I would like to group them into 4 or 5 classes of genre, so intead of:

Rock
Blues
Indie
Techno
Trance
House

It would group:

Rock
- Rock
- Blues
- Indie
Dance
- Techno
- Trance
- House

Is this possible somehow? Thanks!

I found where my error was, I had the percentage outside of the quotation.

<Genre> is not a multi-item field, nor it is <Artist>, <Album Artist>, ... Those "fields" contain just one item from a multi-item field. If you want to use multi-item value for e.g. Genre you should write Songs.Genre. So, the previous filter should contain <Genre> <> 'Audiobook' or Songs.Genre NOT LIKE %'Audiobook%'. If you have a problem with empty genres, you could take a look at suggestion in http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 92#p198192. If you still has a problem, please let me know.

By the way, if you use some Auto-rating script, your rating values could be any number between 0 and 100, not only 20, 40, ... So, it is better to write something like <Rating> Between 16 And 25 if you want 1 star, <Rating> Between 36 And 45 if you want two stars and so on. If you want to exclude ratings with less than 1.5 stars you could write <Rating> > 25. Here are the values posted by Big_Berny: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 01#p119901

Thanks but I need these nodes because I do not use any autorating scripts, none meet my "simplistic" needs as far as ratings are concerned, so I need to rate them myself. I will try your suggestion for the Songs.Genre.

Same question is recently posted by DunKhan: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 59#p197859. I don't know what you mean by nodes within nodes, but I suppose you could get what you want using the Group option. Just take a look at included masks that have used it, for example masks from the Album Ratings group. There you have several masks/nodes inside of one group/node.

Well, if you rate your songs manually, <Rating> <> 20 AND <Rating> <> 0 is same as <Rating> > 25 anyway. Even <Rating> NOT IN (0, 20) is simpler and probably faster.

Technically, you could do a half-star and get Rating = 10.
Also, after I converted from 2.0 to 3.0, I had a bunch of 2.5 stars that showed up as 2.55, which means that, somehow, they were probably stored as '51'.

If you're trying to exclude everything 1 star & under, I'd just go with "> 20", although that excludes unrated items as well (-1).
