Smart Playlist: Most Played: Last Week.

I've been trying to make a Smart Playlist for ages to get a "Most Played Last Week/Month" type of playlist but i can't seam to figure out how to make one...

I've tried "Last Played in the last 1 Week" + "Limit to 25..." but that's where i run into the problem... if i set it up as Most Often Played.. it uses the the total counter of plays and not the number of plays within a week...

I've been trying a few other combinations, but i don't think it's even possible to make it as it is right now?

If there is a way to make it please let me know i'd be very grateful.

I don't think there is any way of doing what you want as iTunes does not record the date of each play, only the total playcount.

All you can have it the most total plays from the tracks that you played in the last week/month.

It is often asked, but as polydorus notes, it can't be done.

The data items available to use are the *Play Count* (which is cumulative from the time the song was added to the library or last had its count reset) and the *Last Played* date. There is no way to put that data together to get "most played in the last week."
