good evening,  
i'm trying to edit an export template which shows me only my albums containing mp3-files.  
what i did so far is:

$filename(mp3.txt)$loop(%artist%-%album%-%title%)$if($eql($strstr(%extension%,mp3),0),,  
%artist%-%album%  
)$loopend()

unfortunately this shows me as many artist-album lines for an album as there are mp3-files in this album, which is somewhat logic.

is it possible to show only one entry per album?

Thanks for your help...

Try

```
$filename(mp3.txt)$loop(%artist%-%album%,1)$if($eql($strstr(%_extension%,mp3),0),,
%artist%-%album%
)$loopend()
```
