Clearing Recent Playing Now's
« on: April 08, 2006, 05:20:22 pm »
What's the current criteria and timeframe for automatically clearing the "Recent Playing Now's"? The documentation says they're only retained until you close the program. However, they're remaining after closing and restarting the program, at least for the ones I've created today. So is it a bug or a new feature? I *thought* in prior beta's they were not only maintained for one session but for a few days as well. Am I mistaken?

I would REALLY like the ability to keep the Recent Playing Now's for a few days before they're automatically deleted. Ideally, I'd like an option to specify how long to retain them.

BTW - I have the option to clear playing now list upon exit turned OFF.

In Playback options, check "Start Playing Current Playlist" and in General, change the option for Play Button.

I don't understand how this affects how long the "Recent Playing Now" lists are retained.

It preserves the current playing now.

Thanks but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm interested in retaining the OLD "recent playing now" lists. Playlists->Recent Playing Nows

You could probably just drag them out to another playlist folder. Not sure if MC would still clear them out at that point or not. Worth a try...
