Smartlist - Restricting to Newest Podcasts
« on: October 28, 2006, 11:31:23 pm »
I am relatively new to smartlists and have yet to venture into its more advanced capabilities.  Currently I am having difficulty creating a smartlist that matches my iPod listening requirements.  Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

The goal is to create a smartlist that will include only the latest three podcasts from a certain number of feeds.  The framework that I have currently is:

[media type]=[audio] [Feed URL]=[http:////podcast#1],[http:////podcast#2],[http:////podcast#3 ],[http:////podcast#4],[http:////podcast#5] ~limit=-1,3,[album artist (auto)]

The difficulty I’m having is selecting only the newest podcasts.  My initial thinking had been to select based upon either date or track number. 

I assume that this should be a fairly simple procedure…

Thanks in advance for ideas and inspiration.

How about....

[genre]=podcast ~sort=[date imported]-d ~limit=-1,3,[Artist] [Album]=[BBC Breakfast],[Popjustice],[Radio 1's Entertainment News]

You can edit the bold bit with the wizard to select different podcasts! This seems to work for me... is that what you needed?

Thanks for reminding me to do this as I needed to sort this out for my iPod too!

By the way... whilst we are talking about podcasts, mine show up in the Podcast section of my Ipod but also the Artist/Album section. Is this how it's supposed to work? It would be nice if they only showed up in the Podcast section but I'm not sure if its a general iPod thing or a MC thing!

This is an iPod thing.  I believe that they will also show up under "songs"

Podcasts won't show up if you use "Shuffle songs"
