• Creating a Foobar2000 Autoplaylist for Most Recent Music
  2023-10-14

  I like to have a running playlist in my preferred music player (foobar2000) to show my entire library sorted by most recently added music first, since I have a tendency to want to play the hell out of new songs I find, and also enjoy taking trips through time by scrolling back to music from earlier eras and reliving memories from that period of my life.
