Create a playlist for each Album Artist.

I have recently reripped my classical music collection. 50% is from boxed sets.

I have 98 Album Artists (really boxed sets) with 337 albums, auto-organized. I would like my iPod Classic playlists to be the Album Artist so I can play a boxed set.

As far as I can tell I will have to manually create 98 playlists (send to), typing in the Album Artist each time.
Definitely doable but while I tidy up the tags, any suggestions ?

This is what I am trying now:

View Show Artwork
Add Album Artist to Media Tree

In the media tree
1. Click on specific Album Artist Name
2. F2
3. ctrl-C
4. Esc
5. Right Click on specific Album Artist Icon
6. Send To, Playlist, New Playlist
7. ctrl-V
8. Enter

Repeat.....

http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... d+playlist can do this automatically (but it's exported (which can be imported)).

Yeah I saw that. It looked a little different than what I wanted to do, "creating of playlists for each child node". I did it manually instead. Done.

It is amazing how fast computers are and how good software is these days.

So if you'd done that on the Album Artist node it would've created a Playlist for each Album Artist.
