Howto create playlist with the 50 "newest" tracks? [solved]

Post by iBurger »

My question seems fairly simple but... is it?

I want to create an autoplaylist that contains the 50 latest tracks sorted by Window's
file creation date. So, today is the 9th of August. If I were to download an mp3 from Amazon
that last one would be on top of the list because it would have have a creation date of 8/9/2011
where most of my tracks date from 1990s-to-2010s.

Any help much appreciated.

[solved]
- in MM3 there's a script called: "Last 100 played"
- in MM4 you can mess around with the TimeStamp property

Thanks. I'm almost there with you. My mediamonkey doesn't show the "Timestamp" property in the
right "Sort Order:" box where you sort on Z-A.

Any clues as to why I MM doesn't show the timestamp option in the right box?
Thanks again.

Which version are you using, I am on the beta version of MM4? I am a little rusty with MM3, but if I remember correctly this option is not available in MM3.

Timestamp was only just added in MM4. I think "Date added" or "Added" (can't remember the exact terminology) is better suited for what you're asking for anyway.
