Although I have been using AutoTagX for a while now and am very happy using it, every once in a while I come across an album it can't help me out with or just barely. I still add it to my iTunes library and then want to manually edit the tags.

Trying to find those recently-added tracks can be a hassle. Or perhaps I'm just lazy. Regardless, there is an easy way to locate recently added tracks. I've made a smart playlist which looks for tracks matching the condition Date added is in the last 1 days. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow 'the last 1 hours,' but this will do. I've also made a smart playlist for the last week, so my girlfriend can check out what I added since she was here last (which is never more than a week).

Small hint, saves me a lot of annoying searching.

[robg adds: I just added the "Date added" column to the standard view; now I just click on that column to sort by date ... but smart playlists are handy, too!]
