How may I see the last time the songs of the albums were played?

Hello
I'm using winamp and I want to switch to foobar2000 because winamp crash my computer, and it is very unstable. I was using Foobar2000 and I love it... but I have a problem...
Normally, I take 20 or 30 music albums to listen... and I put them in my library (in winamp or in foobar2000)...
but... in winamp... I can see the last time a certain song from a certain album in my library was played...
so if I have an album, the album X
and it has 10 songs...
if I listened the first 4 songs...
I can see the dates I listened them for last time
that remembers me I don't have to listen them again, and I can continue listening the pending songs to listen...
does foobar2000 this feature?
in my reproduction list... may I see that last time the songs were played? I see the colums artist... title... album... but I don't see any colum saying "last played"...
if this cannot be done by default, is there any way to have this feature?

thanks in advance

install foo_playcount. then create a custom column in your playlist with

Code: [Select]
[%last_played%]

Hello,
Where can you download foo_playcount ???

I tried with other thing and don't work...
I downloaded foo_playlisthistory

And then... I went to File... Preferences... in Components, I went to Display, Colums UI...  and there I went to Playlist view...
there... I went to the tab Colums, created a new one with the name  Last Played, selected it, and then I went to the right side... selected the tab Scripts, then... the tabs Display...
and there I entered the code: [%last_played%]

Tried it, and don't work. Simply don't remember the last time it was played.
I attach a screenshot here...



How may I fix this?
or where may I download foo_playcount with some instructions to configure it?

Thanks

foo_playcount = official playback statistics component =playback statistics 3.0.1

Located on component page, under tag=playback statistics
http://www.foobar2000.org/components/tag/playback+statistics

foo_playlisthistory has nothing to do with tracking play count and thus provides no information to populate a last_played field.

Hello, thanks for the link, but I am not programmer... so I don't know very well what chain or text should I type to get a proper time on the screen, as month, day and year...
may someone give me the text chain I have to write and where?
thanks a lot

I am not programmer either. I took a look at link and here is my novice explanation that should get you moving forward.

Function: $day_of_month(time) means please return the day of the month of some time tittleformat field.

$day_of_month(%last_played%) returns into your custom column a numeric number of the last played date.

Follow this same logic and add the month function in front, then maybe a dash or whatever and add the year function after and you should have what you want. In other words, back at preferences image in post 3 you will now have a longer string then just [%last_played%] that you currently have. You will have three functions all working to bring you back bits of the same (%last_played%) in the order you want.

good luck

Hello
I'm sorry for replying very late, but I was very busy and did not have time yet to deal with the playlist stuff. Well, I found how to configure the colums properly, so I share the solution with you.
foobar2000 is very powerful, but it could be a bit complex for users that don't know how to deal with strings, chains and stuff... so I give you the chain.

When creating a new colum, to make foobar2000 return: DAY/MONTH/YEAR LAST TIME PLAYED introduce this chain...
$day_of_month(%last_played%)/$month(%last_played%)/$year(%last_played%) $time(%last_played%)

When creating a new colum, to make foobar2000 return: MONTH/DAY/YEAR LAST TIME PLAYED introduce this chain...
$month(%last_played%)/$day_of_month(%last_played%)/$year(%last_played%) $time(%last_played%)

You can replace the SLASH / with other character as an hyphen - if you prefer. It works the same.

Now a little problem... introducing this chain, when a song was not played I get returned the values to ZERO... so I see this in a lot of tracks...

00/00/0000 ?
00/00/0000 ?
00/00/0000 ?
00/00/0000 ?
00/00/0000 ?
00/00/0000 ?
00/00/0000 ?

May I do something to make zero values don't be shown?

Thanks

Enclose the formatting string with square brackets [...] like so:

[$day_of_month(%last_played%)/$month(%last_played%)/$year(%last_played%) $time(%last_played%)]

[$month(%last_played%)/$day_of_month(%last_played%)/$year(%last_played%) $time(%last_played%)]

This tells foobar not to display the contents unless the fields are present.

It works fine !!! Thanks a lot.
Just to clarify it.

When creating a new colum, to make foobar2000 return: DAY/MONTH/YEAR LAST TIME PLAYED introduce this chain...
[$day_of_month(%last_played%)/$month(%last_played%)/$year(%last_played%) $time(%last_played%)]

[$month(%last_played%)/$day_of_month(%last_played%)/$year(%last_played%) $time(%last_played%)]

As a suggestion, you can also use this string:
$if(%last_played%,$day_of_month(%last_played%)/$month(%last_played%)/$year(%last_played%) $time(%last_played%),Never)

It displays the date and if not played the string "Never"
