I don't think there is a field marking when a song was last exported to some other medium. I guess you'd have to mark them somehow on your own when you burn'em (by a existing or new field).

As much as I hate the auto creation of Recent Playing Now's so it tracks your playing nows, perhaps a Recently Burned playlist group could be added which would automatically create a playlist when a CD is burned.  I personally am not a huge fan of these.

Maybe the end solution is to create a top level called Automatic, which would contain Recent Playing Now's, Recently Imported, Recently Ripped, Recently Burned, etc.  This way, only one line would be taken by automatically generated playlists instead of taking 3-6 lines if you did all these things.

It is possible.  When you burn a disc, just add those into a playlist and keep the most recent ones at the top of the playlist!

The solution desired is an automatic approach.  Obviously it could be done manually, as you suggest.  The goal here, as the thread creator desires, is to have a playlist automatically created when a CD is burned, just like a new playlist is AUTOMATICALLY created when you end up creating a new Now Playing playlist.

I guess it's just a question of process.  In order to keep track of everything that I burn, I create a playlist with the date & time and CD title; add to the playlist, then drop the playlist on the burn window.
That way, I can always go back and check what I have done in the past...
