How can I identify (and delete) tracks already played?

Hi,

I have a Rockbox'ed Sansa e280. 

As with my previous DAPs, I like to load up alot of music, put the player on shuffle and listen randomly.  Sometimes I like to remove the tracks I've already listened to.  Is there any way to do this easily?

On the Database page, I saw that there is a playcount tag, but unfortunately, it's not stored with the music file as an id tag; it's a runtime db tag.  So I can't see the value when I load up the music files in a tag editor such as mp3tag.

And I guess I can't easily delete multiple files directly via Rockbox (right?) so I can't delete all the ones that I've already listened to it that way.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Not sure if this is exactly the solution you're looking for but you could use the playcount to create a playlist and then delete all files in that playlist using a PC.

If you happen to be listening to the track, you can delete it while it's playing. From the WPS, go to the WPS context menu and select Delete. Presto! The song will keep playing, since it's cached, but skip ahead and it'll be gone for good.

FS#7049 might be helpful, though it looks like it hasn't had any interest from anyone besides the author... I tried to compile a build with it to have a look but make error'ed out.

That sounds like a decent solution.  Can you point me in the right direction towards creating a playlist based on playcount?  I tried and didn't get very far.
