"Recent" sorting

[DavidHB]

Thank you, Simon. This planned new capability is getting ever more interesting.

This makes sense, although I shall need to bear its implications in mind. I try to keep my file names as near as possible to [disc number <if part of a multi-disc album>] - track number - track title, so if the track title changes, the file name will typically change also.

This also makes sense, especially with the file naming convention I have described. It is a more 'intelligent' approach than I was expecting, and all the more welcome for that.

Fully understood.

Alongside Recently Added, have you considered adding a Recently Played list? I have seen this on other servers. In a multi-room setup, it provides a convenient means of transferring all or part of a current playlist from one 'room' to another. If you say "one thing at a time", I shall of course quite understand.
