"Recently Added" is just a smart playlist. I'm not sure why it disappeared from your sources table, but you can recreate it by using Command-Option-N to create a new smart playlist, then navigate (VO- Right arrow) to the rules section and interact (VO-Shift Down arrow). Press (VO-Space) and change the pop up buttons and type in the necessary text field entries to make the first rule read: <Date added> <is in the last> 2 <weeks> At the end of the first rule, after you've reviewed it, press (VO- Space) the Add button and navigate (VO-Right Arrow) to set the pop up buttons for the second rule: <Media kind> <is not> <Podcast> Set the pop up button entries you want by typing the first few letters of each entry and/or use the up and down arrow keys to navigate to your selection, then press return. When you have finished entering these two rules, stop interacting with the rules section, and VO-Right arrow to read through and review the other smart playlist settings options. You actually don't need to change anything, and could simply have pressed the return (or "Enter") button after completing the second rule to commit your changes. However, note that "Live Updating" is checked (by default). This is the setting that continues to apply these criteria so that "the last 2 weeks" always refers to the the last 2 weeks from your current date and time. Navigate to the "OK" button and press it (VO-Space) to commit the changes. Then type in the name for your smart playlist (e.g., "Recently Added") in the dialog window. If you want to check what the rules are for any of the smart playlists in your sources table, select the playlist and use your context menu (VO-Shift-M) to choose "Edit Smart Playlist". In this case, I just went to my "Recently Added" smart playlist and checked the rules that were being used.
