I accidently erased the recently added playlist

I accidently erased the recently added playlist from my itunes how do I get it back on there so I know what was just adde because I have like over 3000 songs on there and dont know whats new

All you need to do is create a new Smart Playlist (File>New Smartplaylist). Make the criteria Date add is in the last: and then pick a time frame that makes sense for you. If you add music often, you might want it to be in the last week, for example. Then make sure that Live Updating is checked.
Once you hit ok, the name of the playlist will be highlighted in the source pane. It will be called "untitled playlist". Change it to Recently Added (or whatever you want).
Welcome to the world of smart playlists!

I erase the recently added playlist

I accidently deleted my "recently added" playlist. how do I get it back?

I'm very new to itunes and having trouble getting the hang of it.
I was trying to clean up some playlist files and was attempting to delete songs I didn't want or need. I hit shift-delete and all of sudden EVERYTHING disappeared. the songs I had purchased... stuff I had recently uploaded... everything.
I went to the recycle bin and hit "restore" in the hopes that things would come back, but no luck.
I was able to search my computer and get the songs I needed back, but it was quite frustrating. in addition, one of the things that disappeared that I wasn't able to retrieve was the "recently added" playlist, which was actually quite helpful to me.
I attempted to upload a new CD to see if it would recreate the "recently added" list, but no luck.
how do I get that back and make sure that future uploads are automatically saved to that playlist?
thanks in advance for any help.

i just bought and downloaded an album. the album/tracks are NOT found in my music library alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist. in addition, when using the search queue in the upper right corner, the artist and album is listed when searched for, but when clicked on, nothung happens. i have downloaded hundreds of tracks with no issue (not a noob), but have no idea what has occurred...plz help

Have you checked whether the songs are in your iTunes library? If they are, then just drag them to your purchased playlist. If they aren't, try checking for available downloads.
If none of the previous work, then get in contact directly with iTunes store support to tell them about your problem.

I deleted the recently added playlist in iTunes...how do i get it back?

i've searched for answers but they were all for windows. does anybody know how to get the recently added playlist back on a MacBook Pro?
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.8) MacBookPro

The "recently added" playlist can simply be recreated by using a smart playlist with the following criteria: "Date added is after". You pick the time frame, for instance the past month, past 2 weeks, etc.

How do I extend the lifetime of the Recently Added playlist?

When songs are downloaded into iTunes they appear in the "Recently Added" playlist for a while. After an unknown (by me at least) period of time, they disappear. Can I adjust the period of time, say to three, six, nine or twelve months, whare the songs would still appear in the "Recently Added" playlist?

Control-click the playlist, choose Edit Playlist, and change the Date Added cutoff.

How do I clear the 'recently added' playlist?

How do I clear the 'recently added' playlist?

It isn't set up that way. It is a smart playlist (right click on it to see details) which uses the "date added is last two weeks" command. You would have to change the date added on the tracks it contains to be older than two weeks, or do some other modification to the smart playlist such as only have it display items that had not been played at all. I don't know if there is an easy way to do that unless it is in Dougscripts.

"Recently Added" playlist was one that came with iTunes. How in the world do I get it back?

When you are editing the rules it is worth knowing that it would normally look something like this, but of course you are free to use whatever rules you want.

Deleted the "recently added" playlist. How do I recover it without re-inst

I accidentally deleted the "recently added" list and can't see the option in a smart playlist to "remake" it. Is there a way to recover without re-installing iTunes? thanks for any feedback

The default playlists are just Smart Playlists and you can recreate them. In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist
Recently Added:
Match the rule "Date Added">"is in the last">"1">"Days" make the days and the interval to suit yourself, you can have days, weeks or months.
Also check the box "Live Updating"

I accidentally deleted the "Recently Added" playlist from my iTunes Library

I accidentally deleted my "Recently Added" file that comes as one of the standard files with the iTunes program. I have been unable to get it back and sure would like this file as it is easier to trace new additions. Anyone know how I can do this? I tried just adding a new file but it does not recognize new additions.

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
To recreate the default *Recently Added* smart playlist:
Click *File > New Smart Playlist...*
Click the + symbol to the right hand side
The first line should now read:
Match all of the following rules
Change the next two lines to read
*Date Added is in the last 2 weeks*
*Media Kind is not Podcast*
There should also be a tick against *Live updating*
Click OK and set the playlist name to *Recently Added*

By mistake i deleted the "recently added" playlist

How do I get it back?
I love that thing for organising everything when I have bought new albums

This is just a smart playlist and you can make a new one.
File>>New smart playlist
Mine is as follows:
Match following rule – unchecked
Limit to checked
Limit to 25 items selected by most recently added
Live updating checked.
But you could have something like
Match following rule checked
Date added is in the last 2 weeks
Limit to unchecked
Live updating checked

Restoring the original "Recently Added" Playlist

I accidently deleted the "Recently Added" playlist, and its accompanying path and logic when new songs are purchased and/or ripped that are automatically put there. Is there any way to restore the playlist and its original functionality? THANKS.
DELL Windows XP

This is simply a smart playlist which can re-built using the following criteria "date added is after", you pick how much time you want to use such 2weeks ago, 1 month ago, etc.
