Your way seems like a lot of back and forth, but might actually be quicker. I'll give it a try!
Actually, I have a better way for use in bed at home, or when doing focused browsing when away from home.
I have an app which creates multi-target playlists which can be used by Sonos, or a UPnP client on my tablet (in bed: I am not allowed a Sonos in the bedroom unless I want to start sleeping alone
). Also when commuting, using the playlists against my Google library, as I took advantage of their offer to host up to 50,000 tracks from my own collection for free. Also when staying away from home, using the UPnP client again, this time against one of those small 2tb WiFi USB drives, where my whole collection is replicated.
The playlists are auto-created and auto-refreshed using MM data, and are available at home on the NAS, as well as in my Google Play library, and on the portable WiFi drive. So a wider reach than a MM index, and just as current.
My playlists are active like yours. Mine are mostly based upon date last played criteria, rather than date added.
The app updates MM play history with all Sonos plays, via direct observation of the Sonos zones, plus plays from all mobile devices, or other locations, which scrobble.
