Recently Added Music List
Userlevel 2
I would like a method to keep track of recently added music. I used to do this with my CD's. Instead of immediately filing new CD's with my existing CD's, I would leave them in a pile next to the CD player for a few weeks. The new music would get heavier play than my older CD's. I used to leave them out until I had listened to them a number of times. It would be nice to create an electronic way to do the same thing.

I can filter on newest first, on this page, but not in the sono app!?!
Come on Sonos… 
I want this so badly so that I can easily listen to today's podcasts, new music, etc. PLEASE Sonos!
plrase add this feature
I'm also a recent (potential) Squeezebox convert and use this feature regularly, so much so I just assumed Sonos would have something similar.

Grouping albums by age would be great so I can see albums added within last 7 days, last month, last three months, last six months... This is standard in a lot of media players and great for finding albums to play
Considering for how long Sonos users have been asking for a means to select recently added music and the fact that the option to list the music library by the date added (earliest first), or even the file date, seems so straightforward, it seems there can only be two possibilities for it not being implemented; 1) Sonos cares not for existing users, preferring to concentrate their development recourses elsewhere or 2) Their system design simply does not make it possible (such as the date added is not recorded - but then could they not simply use the file dates initially when the library is next indexed and record the date added after that?) and Sonos are unwilling to come clean to the Sonos community. I'd like to give Sonos the benefit of the doubt, so come on Sonos, engage with your users and at least tell us why this particular request constantly falls on deaf ears!
We should try and convince sonos to allow end users (customers!?) to help groom the backlog.

I see this thread is shown as under consideration. The thread I responded to earlier today should probably be merged with this one.

A "recently added" playlist should be very easy to implement using the time stamp of the file or by writing the "add-date" to the database. I switched from Logitech to Sonos years ago because of the superior app. I am still missing the the SqueezeBox's recently added list every single day
Logitech's app became much better in the meantime. Maybe it is time to switch back.
It really sucks how Sonos ignores this request for many years now.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Sort by date, last added. Hello,
the sonos hardware is great but the app is a pain. Why we are not able to sort music by year or by last added ? I own a synology NAS, it is much easier with DSmusic to play music. Please add those simple tag function to your app, i have found 2011 posts asking for that. It's shame, it's a good technology control with a minimalist app.
Regards

This is the number one killer feature I expect from a music streaming system.
Just bought a Sonos Connect and I am unpleasantly surprised to learn that Sonos does not support this. Without this the Sonos will move out of my living room again faster than light.
Based on the fact that people have been asking for this for ages now, chances appear to be slim that Sonos is going to fix this anytime soon.
This is a real shame for an otherwise solid system!

Any progress on this?
I agree, surely this is a very simple thing to integrate as the data is already there.
This is the only thing that drives me nuts about the Sonos, every other part is nailed on but this really grates with me.
I have 4 hours or so on a Sunday in which to listen to new music, but I end up listening to it at my desk as I have no way of knowing what is new once I'm downstairs.
Please sort it!

2 years ago! Seriously, have you not got any further with this?

Hi Mark, I've had Sonos for probably for about 8 years now, I've given up on this one.

This is a regular annoyance for me.
Don't hold your breath..Sonos state that your opinion matters - it doesn't.
Regardless of the present and future feature set, there are a couple relatively simple workarounds:
First, one can exploit the Folders view of the Music Library if new music is kept in a "NewMusic" folder. This is a separate view and does not interfere with any of the "Tags" (Artist, Track Title, Genre, etc.). After a while the tracks can be moved to their final location.
Second, one can use 3rd party applications to build playlists of arbitrary complexity. In this context "New in April", for example, is quick and easy to build, maintain, and use. Imported Playlists will be brought across as the Music Library is updated.
Yes, I know that some will object to the "extra steps" required to maintain either of these schemes, but I don't think that any such built-in feature implementation will satisfy all contingencies. Using either or both of the above schemes is an easy path to have it your way.

The fact that this is still not a feature is pretty befuddling, but felt compelled to add a suggestion for all the folks frustrated by this. I installed an app on my Android tablet called ES File Explorer. There are a few apps that handle this function, but it seems like a good one. It allows you to browse network drives just as you would on a computer, including the option to arrange folders by date. This at least provides a convenient way to view all the folders with newly added music. It is still frustrating that this is not a Sonos feature as I feel it is a fundamental and primary function that should have been in place with the Beta 101 version...let alone the current fully developed app...but a file browsing app has proven to be a workaround by toggling back and forth between the file exploring app and the Sonos music directory.
please add this feature - willing to pay 🙂
Extremely useful and needed feature. I know, you don't care for most of ideas and even bugs, but I still hope, you understand, that ignoring customers is getting dangerous nowadays, when there are better products out on the market already. Come on, Sonos, stop being blind.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I'm curious . . . could you list the "better products out on the market already" that have a "Recently Added Music List" feature?
Indeed John, I switched from Squeezebox to Sonos few weeks ago, because Logitech is no longer continuing Squeezbox productline. I miss so many functionalities on Sonos now that it hurts.
Another vote for what I think most would consider an essential feature. It's available in every other music player & service and is incredibly frustrating that it's missing from the Sonos environment. I had it in my 10 year old Squeezebox, I use it in iTunes, heck Winamp probably had it back in 1998. Please pull this from the backlog and get it in an update quickly.

If you're managing a music library, it's very common you want to listen to the latest stuff you added to the library. Please make this happen.
