I'm sure you've already come across this in the forums, but I think what most people have resorted to is adding a custom tag to indicate when it was ripped, and then using that in the browse tree.

Code:

indexTags:-DateAdded
tagOptions:DateAdded.yearMonth.index.sort

Whilst it's not a configurable amount of recently added albums, it serves the purpose, and it's also quite nice to see what you were listening to/ripped at a previous point in time. It's also comforting to know that it's stored with the music, and can't be lost through an absent minded file operation e.g. copying your music to a new hard drive (rather than a sync preserving the file creation date).

I'm not sure what tag editor you use, but I know mp3tag can easily add such a tag to existing files based on the file creation date (assuming that all files within an album will have the same date).

When @simoncn does come up with a MinimServer solution I'm hoping that it can be initialised with such a tag.
