Subject: top 10 last played mp3's

Hello everyone,

My level of ruby-experience has just slightly passed hello-world, I'm
quite new to this programming language; I hope I don't bother all of you
too much by posting my low-level question here.

I would like to make a program that iterates recursively trough my music
directory, and selects the top-10 of most recently played tracks.

I try to use File.atime(path) to check if the current file is accessed
recently enough to get into my top-10, but my problem is that I don't
know how to (correctly) compare a date to the return value of
File.atime.

I'm sure you can give me some simple hints, or a small push in the right
direction. Thanks in advance.



this is what I have so far:

require 'find'
require 'date'

dir = "/share/music"

Find.find(dir) do |path|

  if File.directory?(path)
    next
     else
    if path.match(".*mp3") != nil
      print File.atime(path)," : "
      print path,"\n"
    end
     end

end
