Possible to play all albums from library without making a playlist?
stevenkelby:
Hi All,
I love JRiver but have 1 question to make it perfect for me. I'm sure it's possible but don't know how.
I want JRiver to behave the way I have rockbox set up on my 240gb ipod.
I have nearly a terrabyte of music and like to browse it in JRiver. In the bar on th left side of the window I click on Audio, then Albums.
The main window I have sorted by Artist in the first column, the Album in the 2nd column. This way it's easy to find an artist then pick an album.
I right click the album I want and click Play.
My problem is, when that album is finished, the music stops, unless set to repeat, then it repeats that 1 album.
What I would love is, when the selected album is finished for JRiver to continue playing my entire library in order.
How can I make that happen?
Thanks,
Steve.

If I'm following exactly what you want .... to do this on the fly try just CTR+A, then right-click "add to playing now" if you don't care if your initial album repeats.
If you don't want your first album to repeat do the same (CTRL+A) which will select everything, then holding control (Ctrl) reclick your album cover you are currently playing so that everything is selected except your album then right-click add to playing now. You can shuffle this if you want too.
This of course works with any filters like specific genres album artists etc.
PS: if you are doing this over a slow network a terabyte might need some buffering time to load all the tracks, but if you are already listening to a full album shouldn't make a difference

In MC options, you can tell it to play all visible files when you press the play button. Tools/Options/General/Behavior.

That does work. I can right click the mouse and drag to select a heap of albums after the one I just started playing, or just right click individual albums/groups of albums to add to Now Playing.
I really wanted it to happen automatically though, as it does in Rockbox (once set up correctly).

Thanks, I checked and it's already set to that, I think by default as I don't think I changed it.
It doesn't affect my issue though as I don't use the play buttons to start a listening session. What I do is browse all albums, right click the one I want and select Play.
Best regards,
Steve.

You don't have to drag anything anywhere. CTRL+A right click Play Options of your choice (add play now or whatever)

How can it be totally automatic and exclude an album if it doesn't know which one you are going to pick manually? and In order?
Well you could export your view with the export button and create a smartlist and import the code. Choose your album. Then right click the created smartlist to add to play.
Btw, If you can right click why can't you click the play button like Jim suggested? confused
