Topic: Sort by date - Page: 1

Dieser Teil des Themas ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten

I would like to be able to sort the files in the Atomix file window by date. This is useful if you can't remember the name of a track but know roughly when you added it to the directory. Can this be done for 2.1? please!! :o)

I don't wanna put your idee in the ground, but isn't it better to learn your files??
 
Not when they're so new that I haven't had time to learn/remember all the names.
 
You can make a playlist in atomix browzer with all new song and to play it manual. For now this function is not available. Also you must know atomix did not read the mp3 tag file but just the files names. Why you dont add the day in mp3 file name?
 
I keep a seperate folder called "new stuff".
 
Yeah... I get what you're all saying but how much trouble would it really be to just add what I'm asking for? After all, if the file name is parsed to provide the artist and track name info then surely the file date can be accessed also.
 
Sorry but we can only say some advices. We dont build this program. :-)
 
Do you you want a Atomix with a zillion buttons???
 
Listen to mixalis, he is wright just make a playlist "NEW SONGS" and your problem is solved.

The problem with making a playlist is that you have to keep adding the new files as you aquire them and remove the ones that have been in there for a longer time and blah.. blah.. add infinitem. Basically I'm too lazy to do that.

I really don't understand why people are objecting to what I'm asking for. Stop being negative. I apreciatate the fact that some of you are trying to help but what I really wanted was a responce from the development team and maybe, just maybe, someone else to say, "Yeah, that might actually be a useful feature, I'll second that idea!" But no such luck.
 
Than there is nobody that thinks that it is a good idee. :-)
 
Maybe the people who would think its a good idea haven't read this topic.
 
Dear Yoda,

Do you now that the proffessional mp3 players for the bars and clubs dump all there mp3's on one harddrive, and then put them in different playlist's that way it's easy to update.
now you make folders but when you chance them some playlist's don't work anymore, tht's why the best way is to make only playlist's.
 
I agree with others in that I personally store my new stuff in a separate folder, and generally have a good enough knowledge of my music to know where everything is. However, I would have nothing against adding a date column, and having them sortable by date. The best bet would be to allow the columns to be customised (i.e. added and removed from the display), in the same way you can with MS Outlook etc.

Cheers...

Thankyou Swift. That was all I was looking for. Just the recognition that there is nothing wrong with my idea in principle.

1. I'm not a professional DJ and I have no knowledge of professional mp3 players, nor do I want to.
2. I put ALL my mp3's in ONE directory because I can't be bothered to sort them out.
3. I don't like the way playlists work in Atomix so I don't use them.
 
Than just wait for that button.

just add that function to the new version. if you have over 6000 mp3's and download about 1 gb a day it is just impossible to know all the names of the songs.
 
Download 1 gig a day?? isn't that a little overdone??.
 
koelievleisj
what kind of connection do you have???
and where do you download 1 GB every day???
Man, that's a wet dream, downloading 1 GB a day!!!!!
 
I think there may have been a slight exageration.
