i would like to have a "Top-Hit-List" that sets a relation between entering-date of a song and how often the song has been played.
If a new song enters my Jukebox and I play it 10 times within 2 days it doesnīt enter the Top-Hit-List because there are older songs wich entered my jukebox 2 years ago and were played a hundred times. But They are not really my Top-Favorites any more. I donīt like to reset the Top-Hit-List because I even like to see my "All-Time-Favorites".

Hi,

This is tricky and I'm not sure I undesrtand it well but you can always
set up a Smartlists with a rule such as "lastplayed=<10080 numberplays=>1"
This smartlist will list songs that have been played at least twice (or more)
for the past seven days (10080 minutes). This is like a temporary Top Hits
or weekly Favorites. But I dont think there is a way to do exactly what you want.

By the sounds of it, what you need is something that does this:

numberOfTimesPlayed/minutesSinceAddedToCollection

That would work out which of your songs have been played the most taking into account how long you've had it for so song's you've played quite a lot and you've had for ages wouldn't be rated anywhere near as high as songs which you've had less time and played as much.

Not sure if it's possible to do this though.

The other idea was quite a good one though and I just personally added a smart list to do just that Next Page
