Search for credits

Post by Tessa »

Is there a way to search for a specific credit? Let's say, I want to put together a playlist with tunes that have a vibraphone in it. Anyone have an idea on how to do that?

Yes you can use the filter panel for that

Code: Select all

field  Op. value
%IP%   ?   *vibraphone*
%IP% is the 'involved people list' variable
? is the matches Mask operator
and you use the DOS like ** to match a string inside the data

Thanks for that speedy reply :)
It works like a charm in main panel. Is there a way to send tunes from the main panel to a playlist? Or better, could that filter be used somehow in the library panel? If not, no worries, as I'm sure to find a way to solve that.

You could use tools/export as m3u then go to the library right click a playlist and select import.
I did not include this field in the library's query/display fields to speed up things a bit since it is a large and complicated field
