Sort By Date Added

[edj]

Hi all. Three ideas, particularly for those using Mediamonkey.

You can set one of the custom tags to an added date. I for example set Custom 1 to "Year.Month" where the tag is for Nov 2020: "2020.11". It's then very easy to create auto playlists in Mediamonkey to view your music by date added, in a tree - although you need to create each month's playlist. I've been doing this for 10 years+ so not much work for me each month but it could be a pain if you're starting now.

The other option for viewing in a year/month tree would be to use Magic Nodes (a Mediamonkey addin) and some clever settings. For eg I have the below for Year Bough - Genre - Album:
Bought - Genre - Album|Icon:Top level|Child of:Playlists|Position:Before\<Custom 1|Trim:2>\<Genre>\<Album artist with album>

In order to actually CREATE the Year.Month tag I suspect you could use RegEx Find and Replace (another MM addin) to read the added to library tag and insert something into Custom 1/ whatever.
