Albums missing track number 1 of ?

[drm2869]

Newbie here. Love the forum. Been looking around for a ling time.

I have multiple albums that are missing the track number 1 of ?. The attached screen shot shows the album with a dash in the 1st box. I understand this is track 1,2,3 etc. What I want is a way to find out any other albums that are missing the 2nd box. 1 of ? tracks. Is there a way to create a smart playlist that will find that. I was able to create a smart playlist that shows missing 1st box only. ? of.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can’t access the track count in a smart playlist, but you can with AppleScript, and use a script to tell you which albums are missing values for their track count.

tell application "iTunes"
   repeat with myTrack in selection
       if myTrack's track count is 0 then
           tell myTrack
               log {get artist, get album, get track number, get name}
           end tell
       end if
   end repeat
end tell

 

View your library/playlist by Songs with that list sorted by Album. Select all the tracks and run the script in Script Editor. Any tracks missing a track count will get listed in the Messages pane below.
