ClockWheel - Oldest Track algorithm
When algorithm Oldest Track is chosen, the selection should be any Track within the category that has never been played (no played date). If none is found, then instead, the selection should be any track within the category that has the oldest played date.

The Oldest track function is a clockwheel choice in the dropdown, even when a category of music is the Type. I assume you maintain a database that keeps the data and I assume a datetime is inserted when a track is played so the system can maintain rules. If so, it seems a fairly simple DB query could sort by category, then by date to chose a track either with the oldest played date or a track in the category without a play date. -

David KayeYES YES YES! The "oldest track" today seems to represent the earliest track that was uploaded. It should reflect the track that was the earliest PLAYED. This would require noting the last played file flag ("lastaccessed" in Windows or "adate" in Unix/Linux). Because I have uploaded a bunch of tracks all at once the system today seems not to play tracks based on earliest played. So a lot of my tracks are simply NEVER played.
