POLL: Do you use Play Doctor?

<< < (2/11) > >>

mx4789:
I can't seem to figure it out in Theatre View (or is it Theater View?) which I use exclusively.

"I've also found a lot of music I like but had forgotten about" - that's what I love about shuffle as well.  8) My personal rule for shuffle is that you cannot skip any songs, you have to listen to what comes up next regardless. I found that once you start skipping songs you might as well stop and just go back to your favorite top ten, or so.

JimH:
To use it from Theater View, I think you'd have to set some Car Radio buttons, choosing "play chart", then find them in the Playlists section of Theater View.

DJLegba:
I'm old so I prefer to listen to albums. I have a couple of smart lists for certain situations when an album isn't what I want, but even then I'll usually just pick a genre like Jazz and select Play (shuffled).

Spike1000:
Play Doctor is fantastic. I love it. With volume leveling enabled you get your own radio station (all tracks play at the same volume) made from your own tracks. There's no human bias in picking the tracks so you get to hear music you may well have forgotten about all based on the 'theme' of the seed track(s). Fantastic.

Play Doctor is brilliant. I use it without a seed (don't ask, Matt doesn't get it either but promised not to try and 'fix' that ;)) and the list mostly always sorts itself out within a skip or three. It's my 'go to' item in theater view when I'm not entirely sure what I want.

I call it up using MCWS. The fact I also use Zone Switch depending on whether it's video or audio complicated the issue, so the Theater View item runs a bat file that makes sure we're in the "Audio" zone, then runs the Play Doctor command. I'll dig it up later on if that sounds like something you could use? It's a 'set and forget' thing I did several years ago, which is why I can't post it here from memory :)

Need it really badly in JRemote though... Really badly.
I thought that KISS might have been the answer to getting Play Doctor in my car, but so far, no joy...
