WMP 12 Date Added criteria for playlists always shows today's dat

May 21st, 2010 - 12:27 am ET by msi | Report spam
I use Zune as my podcast aggregator. I have an auto playlist set up to for
all podcasts with a date created "after yesterday" that auto syncs to my WM
6.1 phone. WMP12 always shows the Dated Added as today's date no matter when
the podcast was downloaded by Zune. The dated created info for the file is
correct (i.e. the date the file was downloaded by Zune and doesn't change)
Any idea why the Date Added always rolls forward to today?

Date Added should correspond to when media player added the item to
the media library, by scanning the podacst directory.

I'd consider choosing Date Encoded, if the file contains that
information, or scroll to the bottom of the Criteria list, choose
More... then Date Recorded, which *may* correspond to the actual file
date/time

Any luck with that ?

HTH
