iTunes 'Recently Added" I used to have a "recently added" function on the sidebar of iTunes. It was awesome. It's gone and I want it back. Do you know how to get it back?

Thanks.

I would be in a world of hurt without the Recently Added function.

Did you do something to make it go away?

The only thing I can think of is to upgrade when a new version comes out.

I can't think of anything I did differently. I hunted around a little bit but I can't find it. I think it disappeared the last time I upgraded. It is terrible not having it. I add songs often, and I can't remember what I added without the "recently added".

In mine, it's under Playlists on the left side. Is that thing dropped down?

It's just a smart play list, you can make one.

One way I know of to get it back is to make a new Smart Playlist.

Click File > New Smart Play List, then set it up just like the picture below. you can change the number of days or any other setting.

Yes, danf, it was dropped down. It was just missing.

A Smart Play List! Excellent. Thanks so much, doctor negative. MonkeyButter thanks for the directions and image, they were most helpful! I am in business! Thanks so much!
