Can I tell MC to stop play after a file?

<< < (2/3) > >>

JimH:
Have you considered making playlists?

Linked tracks should work.  You would just play the first track.

LennyM:
Thanks for trying to help.  But I do not want to go through the steps to make playlists.  It should not be necessary for my application.

I tried linked tracks again.  I selected tracks 1-3 and linked them.  Then I played something else.  Came back to track 1 and when track 3 finished it went on, as usual, to track 4.  Linking seems simple enough, but it didn't work for this application, at least not for me.

Again, this would seem to be the kind of thing that classical music users would find valuable.  For example if in a future MC version one could replace "Track #" 3 with 3x and have play stopped after 3, that would be a very simple and very useful adjustment to make to our albums. 

Meanwhile I would ask again if it is possible to select tracks 1-3 in Gizmo (or eos)?  Is it possible in JRemote?

Thank you.

I don't think it's possible to tell the system to stop playing after any track other than the current track. However, if you have a lot of classical music in your collection you would probably find it very useful to add a "Work" tag and spend some time editing your library. I did it - it took a while, but now I use it a lot and I'm very happy I put in the effort.

LennyM:
I'm getting that message, to wit, that it's impossible to tell the system to stop playing after a track, and so break up a classical album into its component sections. 

I don't believe Gizmo (or eos) allows for id by "work".  So I can't see how your solution might apply to my application.  Would JRemote allow for id by "work"?  I also don't understand how I can ask Gizmo (or eos) direct MC "to stop playing after  . . .  the current track."  Is that possible?

From my point of view a better solution would be to simply organize albums by "work", that is, have my single album with 2 concertos simply be 2 albums.  A lot to do, of course, when you have upward of 700 albums.

Since you have organized by "work" I can see that I'm not alone in wanting my music to behave the same way.  Allowing a "stop after play" code for a track would be a far simpler and much more elegant solution than what you suggest.

Does MC never take user suggestions into account for later revisions?

I don't see a way with Gizmo.  It can be done with Panel. 

Press on track 1, choose play file
Press on track 2, choose add to end
Press on track 3, choose add to end

Not pretty, but it works.
