[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1192725, member: 141969"] This reflects different styles of use, I think. I am a "watch and delete" kind of user, so I always explicitly delete a recording when I have finished watching it. Sometimes I stop watching part-way through. Because of that, I would never use the "Delete watched recordings" choice under "Clean Up", because of the risk that it would delete recordings that I had not finished watching. The recordings change colour in the list, and acquire the tick mark, so I assume that this means that they are eligible for deletion, even though I might have watched less than half of the recording. Be that as it may, I can appreciate that others may use MP differently, and find "Delete watched recordings" a useful choice. I agree that this was a needed change. I was always annoyed with WMC because that did the same thing (at that time the bulk of my recordings library was on USB disks that were not always powered up when running WMC). Yes, I agree with this. (y) -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
