I know the shift create playlist trick but when I put %artist% in the options it will keep overwriting the file and won't include all the albums from an artist in a single playlist. Any help is appreciated.

Do tell! 😉
Here SHIFT just makes the "Create playlist with this name" box refuse to close until... CTRL-ALT-DEL!
