| Summary | 0001965: Basic Auto-DJ functionality | ||||
| Description | We have a detailed spec for the Auto-DJ (see bug 0001460) however, that is a fairly serious undertaking. In the short term, we've decided that there's a need to have a simple trigger in MediaMonkey that would cause tracks to be added to the Now Playing dialog when the dialog is 'running out of tracks'. The implementation was originally described in bug 0000520 since it's of great value for Party Mode, but it's been implemented as a separate feature because of its universal applicability. The initial spec is: Auto-add [None, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10] tracks when no more track in Now Playing (v) From entire Library ( ) From Playlist: __________ [Choose] Also, Keep only X previous tracks in NP was tackled as part of this. | ||||

Ludek, I tested 2.5.1.590 and found the following: Functionality: 1) I couldn't get this to work either for removing previously played tracks, OR for adding tracks to Now Playing. Each time I configured it to do either of these, the configuration setting would be lost. 2) Rather than adding x tracks when the Now Playing list runs out (which is implied by the current wording), the functionality should maintain a steady amount of tracks in the queue Cosmetic & Usability: 4) The following changes would solve a number of configuration/grammar issues: |Auto-DJ------------------------------------------------------------- | Automatically maintain ____^ uplayed tracks in Now Playing | Track Source: (o) Entire Library | . . . . . . ..( ) Playlist: _______________________ [Choose] | | Automatically keep _____^ recently played tracks in Now Playing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: it might be better to take the approach that iTunes does for Track Source. They simply have Track Source: ________________^ and the user can then choose Library or Playlist. |

I'm sorry, Rusty. It was fully functional, but I have also found that action for write data from this option sheet was accidentally unassigned. I have got it back and it will be all right in the next build again. |

Very important is notify users, that this action is enabled only if shuffle and repeat(continuous) play are both disabled to prevent from cunfuse them. |

Auto-DJ modified according to Rusty's 5715 note. But I leave 'Automatically keep' on its place, because I think that this functionality isn't depending on Shuffle's or Repeat's switching on. Also I leave 'previously' intstead of 'recently played' because in case of shuffle mode it is controversial if a track was played or not. |

Verified 895. There are a couple of issues to discuss, but the basic functionality seems to be working nicely. |
