I rarely if ever use playlists. Nearly all my music files are organized in "albums", with tags for album title, album artist and corresponding directory for each, with a unique track number for each selection within--pretty much the default when I rip a CD using JRiver Media Center, which I've found to be by far the most useful and user friendly ripping and tagging program. When I start playing an album, what I expect to happen is to play each selection in order of track number until the last, then stop. What happens instead is when it finishes the last selection it immediately goes back again to the first. Maybe some people like continuous background music, but I like to sit down, listen to an album, then think about what I'm going to listen to next, or not. Very old school, I know.
It should be obvious how to make it behave the way I want, or what search terms to use to find out how, but so far no joy.
Previously I've used various Logitech Squeezeboxes in my main listening system, which do behave in the desired way. Since I've now built a HTPC I mostly like and have JRemote for iPhone and iPad I'm thinking of using the PC for music playback and deploying the SB elsewhere. But this repeat forever behavior could be a deal breaker for me. Any help would be appreciated.
