Re: WMP 11 'Recently Added' function...

Date added values for albums/tracks which should in theory be showing under
'Recently Added' are all accurate, so I guess that's one simple explanation
we can discount.

I can't reproduce this issue. "Recently added" is "Current Day - 30"
against the "Date Added" column in the library. (You have to turn that
explicitly on using Choose Columns, since it's not generally useful.)

What are the values of Recently Added for tracks that you want to show up,
versus the current date set on your PC?

Returning to this thread after a few weeks, it would seem that many of the
experiences echo my own - the 'Recently Added' function suddenly started
to
work (for no discernable reason) and today stopped working again (for no
discernable reason). It seems to have a mind of its own!

Does the reporting of bugs like this via this forum get fed into the WMP
development programme? Or should one email them somewhere else? Given the
millions of pretty random 'error reports' that must be fired off to
Microsoft
daily, these very specific complaints must surely be useful?

There
are four small updates available for WMP11 - search for "windows media
player 11" fix at http://support.microsoft.com , or it's linked at the
top
of my FAQ - but none of them should affect this.

in the interest of science and truth everywhere, i must report that my
"recently added" now appears to work again. i am going to monitor it
now,
because i have a certain lack of confidence - but possibly this has
been
resolved?

it would be nice to hear anykind of confirmation from the mp11 team
that
something has been done.

thanks

Me too.I just assumed that "recently" implied "within the last 10

My "Recently Added" just started working. I don't know if it was
caused by:

Something I did (accidentally). (I'm voting for this one)

The 18 critical updates applied by Microsoft Update a couple of days
ago.

Having a spread of dates upon which albums were added, so some are
noticeably newer than others (you need such a spread for the term
"recent" to have much meaning)

The direction of the wind.
