Hi,
I wasn't really sure where to put this, but here seemed like the most general fit.
Firstly I want to desperately stress that I do NOT want an auto-playlist that collects music from x number of days since it was added.
An inherent property of my music listening is that I add very infrequently and at no set time and date. I may add something to my library and listen to that day, or months later. An auto-playlist that generates its content based on a set time period is useless to me.
Magic nodes has a default node that does exactly what I want - "Last 20 -> 20 Recently added albums". This is perfect when I'm listening on my PC, but this is not always the case. I also use MM for android, and would love to be able to sync either simply just this magic node, or an auto-playlist version of it. Bonus points for being able to choose a different number than 20, but I can certainly live with it if required.
I have found an extension called 'export/create playlists for child nodes' that I thought would do the job, but where it falls down is in the auto part. I can export the albums from here as playlists, but they are static and do not update without me manually exporting them again. I like they way they look in MM though, as its a parent playlist called 20 recently added albums, and then a child playlist for each album. Would love it if I could repeat this in the MM for android app.
Can anyone help? I've done boot loads of googling, and can't seem to solve this problem. It seems so trivial and that a program with as much power/useability/customisation as mediamonkey should be able to perform this relatively simple task! What am I missing?!
Thanks
