Browse by New\Latest Music

[SnowHero]

Hi,

Similar to RuneUI update to browse by artist, album etc.
browse-by-album-artist-genre-t635.html
It would be nice to also browse by new/latest music. Is this possible?

This would help me access my new music quicker.

Thanks, keep up the good work.

Hi SnowHero,
MPD supports the "find modified-since" command since 0.19:

Could you test that and see if it could make sense to add a new browse mode based on it?

If someone could jump in here and help me out, that would be great. This is completely out of my skill set.

Sorry to be just a leech.

I'd really like to put a vote in for this one.

With a large library it would be really conveient if you could just sort by 'last added'.

but, another way would be to have an automatic playlist of new music. Perhaps a or python script that runs periodically or triggered by a folder update.

Correct me if i'm wrong @ACX but the find modified-since will report the file timestamp, not the time added to the mpd database file. But that may be a limitation, i can't see any timestamp on the mpd.db file.

cheers,

mm
