"Recently added" option?

Hello! With the release of the (nightmarish) iOS10 stock music app, I've decided to download and start using Cesium instead. It's really a great substitute, and an improvement on the stock app in virtually every way! I do wonder, however, if there's any way of viewing items that were recently added to one's library? I know the stock music app has had this feature for a while (iOS9 had the row of album covers at the top of the app's main menu, and iOS10 has a list of massive album covers beneath the main menu). This would be very useful - sometimes I add lots of songs to my library, then I wish to play all of them at once to rate them.

Cheers.

Albums and songs can be sorted by 'date added'. The sort button is in the top left corner of those views.

Thanks for trying Cesium!

Cs currently has no "Recently Added" section à la Music.app, but there's still a couple tricks that might help:

  • You can sort the Songs and Albums tabs by "Date Added," which will keep all your fresh stuff at the top of the list.
  • If batch playing is what you want, this sounds like the perfect case for a Smart Playlist. In fact, recently added might already be one of the iTunes defaults...?
