Time-based "Recently added..."

[Dat Ei]

How is that different to selecting 'View all' of the 'Recently added tracks'?

As far as I understand the actual implementation of 'Recently added tracks' or 'Recently based albums' those lists contain permanently the latest xx tracks (xx is it 200?) or yy albums (yy is it 50?). That means that those lists are constant as long as you don't add new tracks or albums.

In the iPod implementation one could configure a time span. All tracks that have been added recently within the time span have bee added to the 'Recently added' list. So on one hand there has been no limit for the number of tracks or albums. And on the other hand the content of the list changed automatically, even if you did not add new tracks and albums. If you did not add new tracks or albums within the time span, the list became empty. This behaviour adds a nice dynamic to the 'Recently added...' list.

So what I can imagine, is a software switch, if one likes to use the 'Recently added...' behaviour based of a constant number of tracks or albums, or if one likes to the see a 'Recently added...' list with the tracks and albums added within the last xx days.
