Can I tell MC to stop play after a file?

(1/3) > >>

LennyM:
Simple question, maybe.  Did a search and came up empty.

My classical CD rips are organized as albums.  For example: album with 2 concertos three movements each, so six files.  As of now MC will play the two concertos and then stop.  But can I tell MC to automatically stop playing after file 3, that is after the first concerto?

Thanks in advance.

JimH:
Select those tracks and press play.

LennyM:
Thank you for responding, but perhaps you didn't understand my question. 

I know I can select the tracks I want each time.  My question is whether there's a way to set it up in advance so that whenever I tell it to play from track 1, it will play just tracks 1-3.

Then to play the second concerto I would play from track 4.

JimH:
I don't think so.  Are you starting playback from Explorer?  If so, try starting from with MC.

There's another possibility you could try.  You can select tracks and "link" them, so they always play together.

LennyM:
I tried the "link" them route, and If I am using that option correctly, it doesn't seem to do what I have in mind.  It still goes on to play track 4 after track 3. 

I might note that what I would like to do is probably a very common use when listening to classical music, one which we all do manually.  I have a CD, and then a MC album with 2 concertos on it.  I would like to listen to just the first of them and then have MC stop.  IMO it would be very useful of there could be a stop code on a selected file.  One work-around is just to have me go to what I use to control the system and press stop.  But it is a work-around.  Perhaps you would consider a stop code at the end of a file in a future MC version.

Another work-around that you suggested is just to select files 1-3 for play.  Most of my listening is controlled on my phone using Eos.  Since you probably do not support Eos, I will ask as though I was using Gizmo, which I also have on my phone.  So referring to your suggestion above, is it possible and how do I select tracks 1-3 in Gizmo?

Thanks.
