Updating the request for this feature a bit, I saw some different examples and it would be good to consider the formats of how "last played" would be displayed (in some areas like Track Info), in addition to the "played approx. same" warning time now"
example:
Last played:
Today(6:32 a.m.)
10 days ago (5:57 a.m.)
21 Days ago(6:50 a.m) !played approx. at the same time as now!

Yes it's correct. It is understood, thank you.Yes, makes sense - simplify date display and leave time. I'm not sure if it needs to add any notes like "same time as now" - guess it's already obvious looking at the time. The hint box should stay compact, for aesthetic purposes

I recently saw that a metadata process was implemented in Radio Caster that is very useful for replacing titles. Is it possible to implement this feature to edit track metadata or properties in the music library? And also an option to convert file name to title and artist? and vice versa?
This is a totally different feature, in RadioCaster it dynamically modifies the streaming title. If you need some advanced tagging features, there's software for that like mp3tag.

I have used mp3tags and it is wonderful, but the detail is that when I want to organize the names and tags and so that the radioboss database is not affected, I have to do many things. Therefore, I think it is necessary to at least have the option to make RB rename the files from the "title and artist" tags. This so that when making changes, the RB knows that changes were made and thus prevents the RB information from being lost (play count, intro, outro, last played, etc.)
or some other way to rename files without losing the information already in the database.
You can convert additional information to use APEv2 tag, perform renaming in mp3tag, as all info is in the APEv2 tag, it will not be lost. Then convert it back to the information storage you use: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/changing-additional-informatio.htm

It is possible to add an option so that "Ends at" is always visible. This is super important in cases when you are not manipulating radioboss. Also when you are creating a playlist manually, so you always have control without placing the mouse over it. (honestly it doesn't seem comfortable to me). Additionally, I consider that the font should be seen larger.
Can you please specify where this indication is?

In the screenshot it is shown at the bottom left. But this is only shown when the cursor is placed on "playing left time". It would be good to have this information always visible.
I don't know if it's good to have it there or show it somewhere else.

This is not very useful when you are inspecting a very long playlist which at the same time is being edited (example: replacing tracks), it is not useful Going from top to bottom makes you lose a little time and dynamism. This according to me should always be seen. Just like the time
I'll see what we can do about it, maybe an option will be added to change what data it shows.

You can take advantage of the clock space by setting the top panel to "large." Or you can also toggle the data displayed here.
For example:Before
After
It doesn't look logical, as time box shows general information about time or weather. Playlist information is under the playlist tab. I think we'll extend/make configurable the information you see under the playlist.

Ok, I think that seems fair to me.

On another topic. A couple of years ago I requested a change be added to the playlist icons. Any plans for this?
I have some ideas to consider the best option.
1 option to hide the icons that are in PL.
2 Update the icon library displayed within the columns in the playlist. As shown in the "previous track box" you can see in the screenshot.
(currently this is the only method of displaying icons customized by the user depending on the type of element in pl).
This option works well by hiding the icons that are already there.
3 Set an icon from the "file type" settings. Something similar to the new option added in version 7.1 to set atwork, but with the Windows icon menu or any icon can be added.

We're going to add this in one of the future updates.
As for hiding icons/allowing user icon sets, I'm not sure. Do you want to only change the track icons?
