Title: How do I stop at end of track?
Post by: Ilmar on May 06, 2002, 01:32:21 pm

Hi

I guess there must be a click sequence somewhere that I am missing..?

I am listening to a large playlist and I thinks to myself - "OK I'll shutdown at the end of this track"

Do I :-

a)Go to playing now and remove the rest of the playlist?
b)Wait until the end of the track with my mouse poised over the stop button?

I thought nmaybe holding shift or Ctrl or Alt and clicking something would do it, but can't figure.

I reckon there is an easier way, but what?
If not, should there be?

Listening to: 'Skip Softly (My Moonbeams)' from '30th Anniversary Anthology D1' by 'Procol Harum' on Media Jukebox

(A) is your best bet.

Click the track after the playing one, hit Shift|PLS|End, then delete.  Goes so fast that making a more elaborate system is sort of unnecessary.

Take care.

Hi

Yup thats faster than hitting the next song on playlist, scrolling to the bottom, right click and remove!

Thanks!

My trick has been to drag the currently playing song to the bottom of the list.  That way there is no next track to play and you haven't destroyed your list.  If you need to save the list, you can drag it back after play has stopped.

If you remember where in the list it was.

I think a right-menu pick of "stop after this song" would be great.  I'm not sure if this would mess with the "gapless", etc analysis too much, though.  This choice is something that would occur very seldom compared to MJ jumping from song to song, so if every jump required checking if the "stop" flag was on, it may be a problem--I don't know, that is a question for Matt & co.

I would have thought that a "stop after this song click" would just remove the remainder of the playlist, no flags, no fuss - so it would be just like a simple keyboard macro?

I don't know anything today, my brain is like melted cheese - I can't even understand JimH's Registration FAQ - I figure I will read it again tomorrow before embarrassing myself!

No, think of how "Stop" works.  It just stops.  It doesn't change the playlist.  "Stop after this song" would behave the same way, except it would simulate the user clicking stop at the end of the song.
