Modifying recently added song list

iTunes 9.0
is it possible to customise the recently added song list?
I have imported a lot of albums in one go but only want some of the albums to show up in recently added. I was hoping I could remover some of the albums from the recently added list, is there a way to do this?

How do I delete the recently added songs "List is getting to large

I am unable to find ,how to delete the "RECENTLY Added" songs after having moved them to the various ctegories I selected

The Recently Added playlists in iTunes is a Smart Playlist. So in order to remove songs from this list you need to either wait until the song is no longer qualified to be listed in the Smart Playlist (more on that in a minute) or you need to adjust the rules out the Smart Playlist accordingly.
Either way though, this playlist hardly takes up any available hard drive space as it is just a list of pointers to your actual song files and not duplicate entries or anything of the sort that would be eating up significant amounts of drive space.
If you'd like, you can edit the rules out this Smart Playlist in iTunes to contain a smaller set of tracks or change the Date Added rule to only keep songs from a smaller time frame to help reduce the size of this playlist. To do this, right->click on the Recently Added playlist and select Edit Smart Playlist. A new window show pop up.
In this window, you can the Date Added rule so that it contains tracks that were added in the past X (X being a number of your choice) number of days, weeks, or months. You can also enable the Limit to X (X again being a number of your choice) rule to contain a smaller or larger number of items, GBs, MBs, hours, or minutes. To enable it, simply place a tick mark next to the rule.
When you are finished editing the playlist, click the OK button. If you did make any changes, the list should update dynamically immediately and will continue to do so as time goes on.

Syncing only recently added songs

Is there a way to sync my ipod and only add the newly downloaded song from my playlist, but keep the old songs on the ipod? When I tried to sync only "checked songs", they were the only ones on the ipod. All the song that were there were deleted.

I always have a backwards way to do things--someone else comes along with something much more efficient--but as long as your iPod is set up to be manually updated--I would just make a quick playlist of the recently added songs and drag it on top of the iPod. That way--everything else should stay intact and the new songs will get added. Beware, this is a playlist--so if you're searching by playlists or adding by playlists--make sure you've named this list something that you can easily identify!

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist. That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

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.
Check the box "Live Updating" Then update your iPod

Album art and recently added songs not syncing to ipod.

They've synced before, but now when I've given album art to every song it doesn't sync. Nor have recently added songs. Nowhere to be seen on my ipod.
Then, on top of that, no matter how many times I've restored, authorized, and played around with my account, it randomly doesn't sync songs that I've bought from Itunes.
Help would be so, so much appreciated.

Are you syncing all music or selected playlists?

IN THE MOBILE APP: RECENTLY ADDED SONGS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAND AT THE TOP OF ANY PLAYLIST

IN THE MOBILE APP: RECENTLY ADDED SONGS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAND AT THE TOP OF ANY PLAYLISTS BY DEFAULT IN SETTINGS. NOT ON THE BOTTOM AS ITS BEEN SINCE THE START IN 2008.
IT'S POSSIBLE TO DO SO ON A COMPUTER BUT I DOES NOT TRANCEND TO MOBILE DEVICES SUCH AS IPHONE. WHY???
IT BUGS ME EVERYTIME I'M FORCED TO SCROLL DOWN THROUGH 100s OF SONGS IN A PLAYLIST JUST TO PLAY THE MOST RECENTLY ADDED SONG IN THE SAME PLAYLIST.

Remove recently added play list?

I need to try and claw back some space on my 160 classic. Is it possible to remove the recently played list? I never use it, nor do i really use the recently added list either. The only ones i use are top 25 and top rated. Would removing either of this lists give me back any space?

Removing playlists won't free up storage space on your iPod. Playlists don't contain actual songs, just links to songs.
If you want to free up space, you need to delete the song files themselves.

Deleting "recently added" songs

I can't figure this one out. There is no option.
Also a question that's really bugging me. I accidently deleted the "My top songs" playlist and can't find it in the trash bin. Can I get it back and how?
When you pull up the contents of the trash bin it gives you the option of restoring " all files. You can't seem to just pick what you want. When you do pick 1 or more files it gives you no option to restore them,just move them around to who knows where. Pls help,, I'm new at this stuff.
Thanks

Let me get this straight, you want to remove songs from "recently added" playlists?
you can just delete it by pressing the delete button. no problem.
regarding ur playlists, i would suggest looking up in ur iTunes folder (music/iTunes), look for a file with "library dated xx/xx/xxxx".. Try to remember during which date did you save the playlist in.. open it in iTunes and you should be able to see ur old playlists library.. it should restore your old library on that particular date.. give it a try..

--> just cut and paste items from recycle bin to ur desired location.. you don't have to press restore files....

How to find recently added songs in my library

I have added 3 CDs to my iTunes library on my computer. The music can be found in "Recently Added" Playlist, but NOT in my Library. How do I make sure that the music makes its way to the Library. Also, even though I have iCloud activated I cannot find the music on my iPad.

Something has gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

HT1351 I can't get my recently added songs to synch to my iPod gen 7. I also can't find Genius in the Store to turn it on. I am totally fed up with iTunes :(

Can't find Genius in the store to turn it on (have searched on Google for help!) Can't get my recently added to synch either. Should I be cross with Windows 8 or iTunes???

Hi sandierocks!
You can find more information about the Genius features of iTunes here:

Question ?? 7th generation nano not syncinging to library only recently added songs

Question?
I have just down loaded i tunes onto my new laptop, and all the songs from my library from exisiting i tunes account have loaded up, and i have just tried to sync my library to my new nano but only recently purchased songs that i have down loaded today are goin across, can anyone help??
Thank you

If your purchases are connected to Icloud you will see a little cloud in the right hand corner of the albums. Go to albums and click on the little cloud and it will download the purchase to your computer. I just got a nano and was having the same problem. Hopefully this works.

Finding "Recently Added" song in iTunes library

My question really is, "How do I find a recently recorded song in my iTunes Library with MAIL?" To be more specific, I'll make a recording that I want to E-mail NOW. The problem is, I can't find it with the MAIL "Paperclip". I have been dragging the sound file to the desktop, where MAIL can easily find it, but it seems to me that there must be another way. Is there?

I use a Smart Playlist in iTunes for this:
