Recently Played playlist - what does it show ?

The column Date Added is not correct. I wonder what it shows
I would expect the list to show the date and time when it was played but there is no such column

Here are some names of the columns are not so obvious to me (but to Chris they are "pretty self explanatory")
Yes they are. That's why I wrote that.
Equalizer (it has many options like Latin, Jazz etc)
This is the equalizer setting for this song
Bit Rate
This is the bit rate the song was converted with (ie. 128, 192, 256 kbps)
Sample Rate
This is the sample rate (number of samples per second when converting analog to digital) the song was converted with
Episode ID
The specific episode of a TV show, usually something the production company uses
Episode Number
The specific episode, i.e. S3E02 indicates Season 3, show # 2
Season
What season of the show (1, 2, 3, etc)
Show
The name of the show ("Everybody Loves Raymond" or "EastEnders")
Sort Show
Used to sort in the list differently than the actual title ("Using "Office" in Sort Show will put "The Office" in the O's instead of T's)
Skips
How many times has it been skipped
Last Skip
When the item was last skipped.
I would need to read about each of them on Google or perhaps iTunes documentation and that requires time.
I have already invested too much time (many hours) to try to learn iTunes -
You want to know all the little details of iTunes yet don't want to invest the time...
Okay. That's up to you.
But you don't need to know all the little details to use it very effectively.

    Not sure if this is the issue in your case, but ...

    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

    Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically. 
    It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
    Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

  • Recently Played playlist syncing issues

    Hi Apple friends,
    I've noticed some odd behaviour with my iPhone 4 since either iOS 5 or my purchase of iTunes Match (I can not recall which is accurate).
    I've read a lot about playlist issues with iOS 5 but I have not heard a mention of anything similar to my situation. I usually sync the default playlists of Recently Played and Recently Added with my iPhone 4 running the latest iOS 5.0.1. I am familiar with the Recently Added bug of reversing the order of the playlist and I thin I can live pretty comfortably with that.
    Recently Played however will not sync at all. iTunes says it is syncing and in fact it even names newly played files that are syncing over, but they never appear on the phone. In fact, the recently played playlist that is synced successfully at first will slowly get smaller and smaller as if it was actually keeping a count of recently played songs on my phone (which is obviously played less often) when it is supposed to be a count of recently played songs on my iMac.
    Even opening up the playlist viewer of what is on my iPhone in iTunes shows the playlist as the proper size of ~200 tracks but then in reality, Music.app shows ~90 tracks at the moment. iTunes never reports an error during sync and a restore to defaults worked with the first sync but it has since gone back to this behaviour.
    I had a bunch of 3G problems (Rogers, eh?) with iTunes Match, so I have long had it disabled for months now on my phone. I don't think this can be the issue, although iTunes Match did have a lot of playlist problems when I had it enabled, but many forum posts have shown me that a lot of people had those issues anyways.
    I have also tried switching between USB and Wi-fi Sync with no success... Has anyone else seen a similar issue?
    My Recently Played playlist uses this filter:
    1. "Last Played" is in the last "2 weeks"
    2. "Media Kind" is "Music"
    3. Match only ticked items
    4. Playlist is live updating (Could this be it?)

  • Recently Played Playlist Problem

    Hello Guy,
    I don't know if anyone can help me but I can't figure out what is wrong with my iPod and iTunes. Basically, I've played songs in my ipod after i sync it with iTunes I do not see songs in the playlist. Another words, for some reason, iTunes do not get updated from iPod.
    I was wondering what could be the problem, because Playlist is organized in following way:
    Last Played: is After: 01/01/2005
    Limit to 160GB: most recently played
    Live Update
    It worked before for about 6 month now and it also worked 2 days after lastest update to iTunes and iPod, however songs do not get updated, can anyone help me with a tip.
    Thank you guys

    All I'm asking for is help getting my iTunes to do what it did previously. This problem started sometime over the summer. I really need help with this, and I'd rather not have to go to a Genius Bar, especially because I'm on a timetable with this record.

    It does not keep track of every time you listen to a track and display them as different tracks.
    Why do I want it the way it was? Because that was an accurate record, this is not.
    Yes it is. It lists the most recently played tracks. If you listen to one song ten times, it will not list it ten times.
    How is it accurate that if I listen to Welcome to the Jungle on Monday, Crystal Ship on Tuesday, Layla on Wednesday, Superstition on Friday, and Welcome to the Jungle on Saturday, it only lists Welcome to the Jungle once, as having been played Saturday? That's not accurate at all.
    I could listen to an album of 11 songs sixty times and it will only show 11 entries in the Recently Played list.
    Maybe. If it's set up to show only 11 songs, then yes.
    It will show the songs based on the rules of the *Recently Played* playlist.
    Select *Recently played* and right click - Edit playlist.
    Mine is set up to show all song played in the last two weeks.
    Mine is set up to show all songs in the last 18 months. I have listened to an album of 11 songs several times, in various orders (some songs 14 times, some 26 times) and there are only 11 items in my Recently Played list. I even made another Recently Played list to see if it was a glitch with the smart playlist, but it does the same thing. I tried making a list of "last played" to a limit of 700 songs; same result. I could listen to Shambala in August, then listen to 300 other songs, and listen to Shambala again in October, and iTunes will remove the August-dated play of Shambala and put it down as played in October, with no record of my having played it in August.

  • My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist.

    My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
    I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
    Can you help me with that?
    NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.

    I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
    Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support!

  • Recently Played Playlist sorting

    Hello
    I recently bought a 6th generation ipod nano...On syncing the nano to my PC I found that the Recently Played playlist sorts in alphabetical order by artist on the ipod but sorts by most recent on itunes...Is there a way to change the sort on the nano? I have already gone into the items under the nano on itunes and changed it in there but the nano does not change.
    thanks

  • Recently Played playlist keeps organizing by artist name

    Please help!? I'd really really appreciate it. I'll keep it simple.
    I have a playlist called "Recently Played" (Last played in the last week). I have it set to Live Updating, so that it can update when I'm out and about with my iPhone. I set it to Limit 500 songs, and sort by Most Recently Played. I want the songs to appear in the order I last played them.
    However when a song is finished playing, I go back to the "Recently Played" playlist and instead of being at the top, being the most recent track played, it's all organized A-Z by artist.
    What am I doing wrong? Or is that just how it works???

    I set it to Limit 500 songs, and sort by Most Recently Played.
    You don't sort by *Most Recently Played*.
    That is simply how the playlist is selected.
    Select the playlist.
    Go to View -> View optons.
    Tick *Last Played*.
    Then click on the *Last Played* column header so the arrow at the right is pointing down. This will put the most recently played at top.

  • Recently played playlist wont sync

    I updated the software on my iPod touch 3rd gen and ever since then I cannot get the Recently Played playlist to sync to the playlists folder on the iPod.  It is really frustrating since that is usually what I listen to in my car, it has all the songs that I am into right now without having to manually update the playlist all the time.  If someone can tell me what to do to get it to sync onto the playlists folder I will be forever grateful.  I have tried to manually sync it on there as well through the music tab on iTunes, but it still won't do it.  I even clicked off the Genius Playlist and it still shows up on my iPod.

    If you turn off Live Updating on the playlist, it then sorts it correctly. You just have to turn it back on when you need to update the list and then turn it off again before you sync. This isn't a fix but workaround. Someone else mentioned this on the boards. I have the same issue and tried it and it works.
    Don't know if it is iTunes or the iPhone.

  • In the recently played playlist how do i switch the order the songs go to in after i listen to them?

    I just switched to an iphone 4s and while switching the order of my playlist switched too. when I was using just an ipod touch after i listened to a song it would become #1 in the recently played playlist (which is what I want) and the songs that i havent listened to in a while are towards the bottom on the playlist. BUT NOW the song that i just listen to becomes the last song in the playlist and the songs that I hardly listen to are on the top (which is what I dont want).
    I did not switch anything in my itunes settings.
    I tried making a new smart playlist but the same thing happened
    It is listed how I want it in my itunes on my computer but it shows up the opposite on my iphone.

    Exact same issue here!!

  • "Recently Played" playlist doesn't update on the iPod?

    I know it used to work, on my old (3G?) iPod and some older firmware. Now it's broken.
    All I want to be able to do is check my iPhone after a run, look on the device and see "what song played a couple of minutes ago?"
    But the "Recently Played" playlist doesn't update on-the-fly like it used to. Instead, it's looking like I have to go back to my computer, and sync, in order to have the information sent back to the computer, and then the "Recently Played" playlist in iTunes shows what played on the iPod.
    But that stinks.
    I want to see an accurate "Recently Played" on the iPod itself. Is that no longer possible? Is this a bug that we can hope Apple might address in the future... or is it a feature Apple's decided to abandon?

    I've tried these workarounds but they don't seem to work (on any current iPod.)
    Lots of discussion regarding Smart Playlist synching on the iPhone here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1067876
    ...but none of the suggested workarounds seem to working for me.
    There are two issues, it seems.
    1) synching the results of a smart playlist from iTunes to the iPod
    2) updating of smart playlists, on-the-fly, on the iPod itself
    #1 is working for me. It's #2 I'm having no success with, and I'm wondering if Apple just abandoned the feature when it broke.
    To reiterate. Leave the computer out of the equation for a moment. All I want is a "Recently Played" smart playlist that updates on-the-fly on the iPhone, no synching required. Is this not possible?
    If not, that's a step backwards. It used to work on older iPods.

  • IPod Mini 'Recently Played' playlist not updating...any ideas?

    Does anyone have any idea why my 'Recently Played' playlist on my
    iPod mini would suddenly stop updating itself?
    I tried to fix it by connecting to my computer and deleting the playlist
    through iTunes and creating a new 'Smart Playlist' with exactly the
    same settings of the last 'Recently Played' playlist but now, the new
    'Recently Played' playlist on the iPod is just staying the same, its not
    updating, its the songs that were played on my computer before I
    disconnected my iPod, so it's not even the songs from my iPod...
    Hope that makes sense.....anyone got any ideas?

    I'm not a user of smart playlists, but could it have something to do with this?

  • Recently played playlist not updating

    I'm posting this query here and in the ipod thread as i don't know if the problem is with my itunes, or the ipod itself:
    Basically, we've had a new PC, and I intstalled iTunes and uploaded all of my music with no problems. However, whenever i used to play a song on the ipod through "shuffle songs", it would drop onto the bottom of my "recently played" playlist on the ipod, then would go to the top of the list when the ipod got connected to the PC. Now the songs won't appear on the recently played list until the ipod is connected to the PC. I'm wondering then if this is something to do with the settings in iTunes, as i didn't have this problem until i got the new PC and had to start over with iTunes. Have had a look on the settings menu on the ipod itself, and also on the preferences menu on itunes, but can't see anything that looks like it might help. Is this a glitch or a simple settings problem?
    Many Thanks!

    I have this exact same problem, does anyone kno a solution?

  • Recently Played Playlist

    Hi,
    I've recently installed itunes 8 and have noticed that my Recently Played playlist does not get updated while i listen to new songs but only when i synchronise the ipod to itunes. Before i installed itunes 8 everytime i listened to a new song my Recently played playlist would update the number of songs in the playlist.
    However, recently this isnt happening. For example, my recently played playlist has 38 recently played songs. I then decide to play a song that isnt in that list but once i go to check if the playlist has updated and it hasnt.
    The playlist only updates once i synchronise my iPod. I find this quite annoying as it never happened before.
    Help, PLEASE

  • Recently added and recently played playlists have disappeared.

    Hi, I have just looked at my itunes library on my Iphone 4s and noticed that my recently added and recently played playlists have disappeared. Does anyone know why this has happened and how can I get them back? Preferably without restoring my whole phone.

    Solution/work around:
    Add a new smart play list.
    File > New Smart Playlist. From this point a pop up will appear.
    Match following rule is selected
    (Date added) - (In the last) - (2) - (weeks)
    No limit set
    No match only checked items
    Live update selected
    Then <ok>.
    Change name of smart playlist to something like 'New Music' and Sync to IPhone/IPod.

  • Recently played playlist missing songs

    Running iTunes 12.0.1 on a macbook pro running Yosemite, syncing manually to an iPhone 6 with iOS 6, Music Match turned on.
    When I listen to music on the iPhone, then sync, not all the songs I listened to show up in the Recently Played playlist on the mac. It might show one song, but not the songs played after it. The list is correct on the iPhone. While I have Match turned on, all the songs at issue are on the devices, not in the cloud.
