Some of us play full albums, I guess it comes from being an album-rock fan, but I cannot imagine playing some tracks out-of-context of the album and rarely (if ever) play songs rather than an entire album/cd
Nothing of the sort, if you have good albums, think this is a very natural thing to do. It's one of the main reasons to rate and compute an album score, so that's all it takes is look for & genre and let er rip
Going back to the OP's request, its an interesting one.
A self-updating playing now is how one could describe it.
Radio is tracks only, would it be interesting if you could feed it a smartlist to do the same ?
There would then be no need to, locate the smartlist, refresh it, add the album to playing now.
But the workaround isnt too dificult (or is it)
- Make two panes, in the second pane, run your smartlist, so fire it off (F5) and get your random album.
- Ctrl+A and then enter to add it to PN, making sure in the options its set to add to PN rather than replace.
- Then Ctrl+Tab to switch between tabs when needed.
once you get the hang of it
ctrl+tab
then F5
ctrl+a
enter
followed by another ctrl+tab
hmmm.... ?
