I know its better to use the HAS function but I find for artists like "No Doubt" that it returns any song that has the word "NO" in it. Actually this might be because of my findings below as well.

Actually I figured out whats going on with this vbs script. If you have an artist or album or trackname with more than 1 word (i.e. there is a space in your string) the arguments are not passed into the script correctly causing only the first word of your search string to actually be sent to the winamp media library query. I've modified the script so that it works for me. I can post if anyone is interested.

For example if you're trying to search for "No Doubt" the script only passes "artist HAS No" to the search query. I guess this would explain why I'm getting every song that has "no" in it!! DOH!!!

yes, that is true, so for every word you need to use "HAS". if you submit a full name it will give you only the exact match,

"artist has No and artist has Doubt"

Yeah it makes sense. I guess I just did more work than I had to, modifying the vb script. OH WELLL

give teknik a try, and see how it handles this using AI

All rubish... who needs all this extra work when there is "RR Media" the all in one solution.

Just a big plug, for my very upcoming plugin...

Blue is such a tease... been waiting months to see this "all in one solution"

I'm looking forward to it though. Its about time RR got some serious media management.

no 1 as far as i know is still useing this version, things have moved on a long way 2 i can recomend are El Comino's AWRR dll found in plugins under tag editor and blues RRmedia dll both have different functions on top of the search bit , both do the job they were coded for.

There is a sintax error... the LIKE in Winamp is HAS

The query result is a artist order to Z->A
