That's a good idea . 'Recently added' would be useful especially for large libraries or if more persons are supposed to add content to the library.

Quote:I'm sympathetic to doing something along these lines. The difficulty will be agreeing what algorithms should be used to decide the contents of these lists.

I guess that the most straightforward way would be to mark an audiofile as added if it has changed in any way, i.e. if it gets updated in the database during a server restart. All other possibilities (e.g. ignoring a changed filename or retagged files) would involve computing some kind of fingerprint of the audio data at the expense of performance. During server restart, how do you now determine if a file has changed?

What are the different possibilities to decide if a file has been played?

Many thanks, winxi
