No.
I don't listen on the PC, only sync the podcasts for listening on my commute, so the playcount never changes. If there was a flag for having been previously sync'ed I could use that, but I don't know of one and don't want to use a custom field which I would have to manually update for any files I auto-sync.
I now have a system using two auto-playlists for podcasts:
- #1 - podcasts added less than 15 days ago (for identifying newly downloaded files)
- #2 - publish/recording date is on or after dd/mm/yyyy (the date I last sync'ed)
I use #1 to identify any new podcasts, then do a clean-up (when the podcaster hasn't tagged it with a full date or a bad artist/album/etc). When I'm happy that all the podcasts I want are included, I sync using #2 then edit the title and parameters of #2 to record the date I did it.
It's not too time-consuming and I mostly get the files I want, but I can miss one if a new or updated podcast with an old date downloads and I don't spot it. Or if I forget to update the auto-playlists to reflect the sync date.
I would prefer to be able to either:
- sync files that were added since a specific date (not just in last N days)
- sync files that have sync count = 0 (and it increments automatically like the played# field)
Perhaps a script could increment the played# field (or a custom field if necessary) during a sync? I know I should figure it out myself but perhaps a generous and benevolant code king will take pity on their very grateful but busy/stupid/lazy subjects ... pretty please?
