Just had a thought, but before I set up trying it, I'm just wondering if Nikolay and the other JRiver folks will be adding any of the requested mjextman commands.
My thought is to use mjextman to play a song that has, say, 30 seconds of silence, and then to immediately issue the mjextman command to load up the next Smartlist. Supposedly playing the blank song would do a Fadeout-Stop on the currently playing song, then clear Playing Now, and then play the blank song. And then the next command would hard-stop the blank song (which is OK), and then load up the next Smartlist.
My concern is that I need to keep "Do not play extended portions of silence" turned on, for reasons unrelated to this thread. So that might mess up playing a blank song.
Nikolay, Matt, or anyone else: should I try this, or do you think we'll get more mjextman power soon?
Thanks.

P.S. - I have a bit more information to share. When using the mjextman.exe /Play command, if declare a filename like c:\My Music\Alice Cooper\Greatest Hits\Elected.mp3, or if I use TREEPATH to drill through Playlists into a certain playlist or smartlist, then the currently playing song gets a hard stop. But if I use mjextman.exe /Play to play an unplayable song, like Default\Plus.gif, then the currently playing song gets a fadeout stop. I don't understand why they act differently. What I'd like to accomplish is to clear PN except for the currently playing song, and append a shuffled smartlist. If I can't do that, then I'd at least like to fadeout stop the currently playing song, and then I could use the /Play option to load up the new shuffled smartlist.
