INTERACT FORUM

I was one of the few that didn't upgrade to MC10. I believe you made a great effort (been lurking the build logs like every day) with MC, but I really didn't see any improvement useful enough to me.

Anyway, I wonder if the date handling has been improved in MC10, couldn't find any info on this topic.

As it is now, some date fields are presented like this: '1,1 years ago' och '23,8 days ago' etc. The dates also repeats themself so if you make a scheme with Date Imported, you could have a numerous of '1,1 years ago'. This makes any view scheme with those dates useless, even though you CAN make such a scheme.

What I would like to see is a real date format for these fields. If you could have the format (this one is swedish, but I guess it could be applied for all date formats) 2004-04-15 14:33, then you could do groupings for year, month, day, hours, minutes and seconds. This means you could display your imported files by month or year or whatever. In a View scheme. Much neater than now!

Another thing I've been looking for for ages now is the possibility to create top x lists for weeks or months or years. The basics is the same as above, but that every time a song is played, instead of just setting a "number of played", also set the date for each time played. Then you could do lists like "Top 20 songs played in March 2004". Also, you could do like in WMP, "Songs played in night" or "Songs played during the weekend" etc...

I've been seeing "workarounds" for these requests earlier, but none of them are sufficient...

Any thoughts about this? JRiver?

Thanks for a super product!
