  I have some code for doing this which I will add shortly - just adds
 a configurable piece of text to a directory name if it contains songs
 that are newer than a week.  Doesnt do the same for individual songs
 though.

  I did it by adding a new string 

new_song = <font colour="red">New</font>

  Then allowing the directory_format to include $NEW:

directory_format = <tr><td><a href="$LINK">$DIR_NAME</a>$NEW</td></tr>

  If the directory name hasn't been modified then nothing is inserted.
 If it has been then the relevent text is interpolated.

  Expect to see it by week end, I need to get back up to speed.
