I accidentally deleted the "Recently Added" playlist from my iTunes Library

I accidentally deleted my "Recently Added" file that comes as one of the standard files with the iTunes program. I have been unable to get it back and sure would like this file as it is easier to trace new additions. Anyone know how I can do this? I tried just adding a new file but it does not recognize new additions.

Dell, Windows XP Pro

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.

To recreate the default *Recently Added* smart playlist:

Click *File > New Smart Playlist...*
Click the + symbol to the right hand side
The first line should now read:
Match all of the following rules

Change the next two lines to read
*Date Added is in the last 2 weeks*
*Media Kind is not Podcast*

There should also be a tick against *Live updating*

Click OK and set the playlist name to *Recently Added*
