How do I change the length of time songs stay in "Recently added"

As usual the most user unfriendly software ever created, Itunes for Windows, has me completely beaten.
Anyone know how to change the settings on Itunes to get the amount of time a song stays in the "recently added" part of Itunes?

Thank you Katrina.
I dont think that helped me at all though...instead I am floundering around even more.
What is a smart playlist, and what does it have to do with minimizing the amount of time that songs stay in my recently added section?
I right clicked on my recently added..clicked on Smart Playlist..and it was more confusing than anything.
Match all of the following rules??? Is that even english?
Date added ....arrggghh
Okay the reason that I am doing this is...my computer I had Itunes on just fried after five years...my own fault for not backing my music up on a different hard drive but thats water under the bridge. Now I could have spent thirty bucks on a separate program that would rip MY music off of MY Ipod and put it on MY Itunes...but I didnt want to do that..I just decided to rebuild my library by reloading the CD's onto Itunes. The major issue I have with this is, I have a number of Audio Books that I want on my Itunes...and often times the chapter numbers and order gets mixed up, especially when I am uploading books by the same author. I use the recently added area to move the books over to playlists I make....but if I upload multiple books the recently added area gets all cluttered up, and the books will get mixed.
If I can get the recently added area to CLEAR OUT it will make my life a lot easier...but so far I cant..so I am slogging through this thing like a ******** snail.
I know that in a previous version of Itunes that it was pretty easy to set this preference....but I honestly cannot figure this out.....

  • How do i change the length of a song?

    Before the update I would just right-click on the songe, choose information and then options. But now I can't edit the start time and the ending time.
    Screenshots would be nice.

    Ida,
    It works the same as previous releases, and is still on the Options tab, but it looks different due to the new-style Get Info in iTunes 12.
    Check the box for Start or Stop (or both), and enter the times you want.  In the example below, it will start at 1 min and stop at 4 min.  See screenshot below.

  • How to change the length of time calendar retains appointments

    On my previous Blackberry running OS7, I was able to change the length of time the calendar kept appointments, but I can't find that setting on my Q10. I would like to be able to keep appointments on the calendar indefinitely. Thanks for any advice.

    Hello, metallifan15,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    I think you are asking about the durations for subtitles. There is a maximum duration for titles, and that duration varies depending on which title you select. For just 'subtitle' it appears that the maximum duration is about 4secs20frames, 4:20. If you choose 'Stripe subtitle' the duration is about 8 seconds, 8:00.
    If you want the durations to be longer, consider getting some of GeeThree's Slick volumes, some of whose titles can be placed for 30 seconds.

  • How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

    How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

    Hey,
    The best way to do this is to select all the clips by holding down the shift key or command key if the clips you want to change are not all right next to each other and then selecting each clip that you want to change. Then double-click on the clips which will open up the inspector tab and then you can change the duration. If you want to just change all clips to the same duration just double-click on one of the photos and in the inspector tab next to the durationt tab you will see a box that says "add duration to all clips". If you click that, when you change the duration all the photos will change to that duration. That will then change the duration of all the clips at the same time.

  • How do I change the length of an audio file?

    How do I change the length of an audio file without changing the actual recording?
    I want to aligne start and end points to the rest of my project.

    Well, yes and no. I have tried the Bounce track in place function, but it did not do what I was after. However, today I got an idea that solved the problem. I copied the region I had punched in several times. Then I used the Bounce track in place function. This made a track that was just as long as all the other tracks. Finally I silenced the audio "clips" that I had used to make the region longer. I have now 24 tracks to transfer to the Alesis HD 24 that starts, and ends, at the exact same point. This will suit the Alesis software just fine, I think.
    Thanks for the tips.

  • How do I extend the length of time my iphone rings before voicemail cuts in? If I need to use a password, how do I access that on my iphone? I'm a new user.

    HELP!! My voicemail cuts in after just 15 seconds of ringing, which is rarely long enough for me to answer it. How do I increase the length of time it rings? Can I choose not to have voicemail at all, so my phone can just continue ringing until I answer?
    If I need to enter a voicemail password or key, can you tell me step by step because I can't see how to do anything except retrieve and delete voicemail msgs. I'm on O2-UK, if that makes any difference at all. Thank you

    If my response has been either helpful or correct, could you indicate that marking which it is in order that others searching for a similar solution can find find this easily.
    FYI, it's considered bad forum etiquette to ask for points.

    how can i change the length of a narration ?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Still not sure what version of Premiere Elements that you are using. But, the following should apply nonetheless
    What you describe is what I have described in my blog post and for which I have discussed all aspects of the issue. There
    is no workaround to force the program to give you more than you are getting now without other clips also on the track(s). The
    blog post just about says it all.
    You might have to weigh the pros and cons of
    a. Recording your narrations as .wav files in a free audio editor such as Audacity
    Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
    and then importing those into your Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the narration to the Narration Track.
    b. Put any video clips on the Timeline when you are recording your Premiere Elements narrations with its Narration Tool. Then remove these video clips and replace them with the real thing when you are ready to put narration and clips into the project.
    Please let me know if you are OK with the details.
    Thank you.

  • How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    Kay,
    If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header.  If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
    Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

  • How can I change the length of multiple lines at the same time?

    This just seems like it should be a no-brainer, but obviously for me it isn't.  I'm trying to change the length of multiple lines, that are at different angles, at the same time, in CS4.  Basically, I design the face of dials used for airplane instrument gauges (like RPM, Torque, etc), and they have gradiation marks (lines) located all around, similar what a clock looks like with the hour and minute gradiation marks (lines).  Is there a way to select all the lines, that I know are the same length, and change it to a different length, that's accurate to the 1/100th of an inch?  It would just be like selecting multiple lines that have all the same stroke, then using the stroke box to change the stroke weight from .025in to .030in.
    I've used the transform box to change the 'height' of a line before, but the line has to be at 90 degrees (straight up and down), and that won't work for the lines that are at, say, a 45 degree angle.
    I hope i'm explaining this in a way that someone will understand. If not, I can sure try to clarify more, or insert the picture so you could see what i'm talking about.
    Thanks for any help you can give!

    OK, after fiddling around with everyone's ideas, I think I finally got it. I knew there had to be something with proportions between W and H, but couldn't figure out the math, until Jacob answered with:
    "If each line must be strecthed from the inner/outer end, you may select each and use the Transform palette, choosing the right Reference Point, multiplying by the proportion in W or H (1.75/1.5), and Ctrl/Cmd clicking."
    Now, I basically did everything above, (but I couldn't figure out what you were talking about with the Ctrl Clicking thing), except after figuring out the right proportion (which ends up being so small you guys would die if I told you the number; the numbers I gave earlier were just an example and much larger than what i'm really working with) I just clicked the little chain next to the W and H boxes to constrain the proportions. I then put the new number (multiplied proportion by whatever was in W) in the W box. The line lengthened perfectly toward the center of the dial, keeping the correct angle!
    And Harron-Thanks for the link to Teri's, It is going to help with some things I do, but most of the dials I design don't have equal distances between each gradiation mark, and the blueprints I work off of usually have exactly what distances that the grad. marks are supposed to be. So, after selecting one of my grad marks that is already at it's correct place, I then use the rotate tool and Alt-Clicking the very center of the dial, I can then put in exactly what distance I want the next grad. mark to be at, I hit copy (instead of OK) and there will be a new grad. mark exactly the correct distance from my original. Then if I want to have the 3rd grad. mark I just hit Ctrl-D and it will copy another mark to the next position. I don't know if you necessarily wanted to know all that, but i thought i'd explain why I like doing it that way.
    A BIG thanks to everyone! I'm really a AI newbie and am the only one at my company that knows how to use it, so I don't have anyone close to ask stupid questions to. So I appreciate all your help!

  • How do I change the length of a column in the metadata?

    A very simple package, reads data from SQL Server and FTPs it to a destination. I have zero experience with SSIS.
    I had to add a new column (HEA_ID) to the input and output. The output record has a filler at the end (I hope you know what a filler is) and the new column has to go before the filler and the filler length reduced accordingly.
    Problem: there is no apparent way to place the new column anywhere but after the Filler. The filler in the metadata is the wrong length and there is no way that I can see to change the length.
    There is a yellow exclamation mark on the Flat File destination (where the filler is wrong length)
    I get these erros when I run the updated package.
    "The external metadata column is out of sync with the data source column. The column 'HEA_ID' needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection".
    "The column filler needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection"
    I have no idea how to fix these errors. Help needed.

    Hi AllTheGoodNamesWereTaken,
    According to your description, you add a new column HEA_ID and make some changes in filler column in the External Columns, so those two columns are out of sync with the data source column.
    Please note that columns are created based on the data source columns. So we couldn’t directly change them in the Flat File Destination Advanced Editor.
    To avoid this error message, just as Visakh said, just review mappings once again in the Flat File Destination. If we want to change the columns in the Flat File Destination, we need change the source columns.
