Recent albums added to iTunes Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:28 pm • by Miltomatic
Hi there everyone.

I would like to use Hazel to make a copy to my Dropbox of the latest 10 albums I have added to iTunes, and then when I add a new one, the oldest one of the 10 gets dumped, so there are always 10 albums in there and they are always my newest 10. I have no idea how to go about achieving that but any help, suggestions or advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Milt.

Is Hazel doing the importing to iTunes? If not, then you would have to have Hazel monitor your iTunes library, which is a bad idea for several reasons.

In general, if you have a folder and you want to keep the 10 most recent, you can use a rule like:
Code: Select all
If Date added is not in the 10 most recent
Move file to <somewhere else>


Having this run on your iTunes library though would be a bad idea since you'd have to have it go into subfolders and most people's libraries tend to be quite large.
