Hi there, I've had a bit of a hunt and can't find the answer..

Is it possible to automatically start Play Doctor after a playlist completes? For example I could then play an album, then it would carry on playing similar stuff when the album finishes.

Many thanks

You can select the album, then right click and do Play with Play Doctor.

Thanks Jim, that does work fine but I'd like it to play the whole album first, in order, before Play Doctor starts doing it's thing... maybe it can be configured to do that?

Cheers

Here's what I said in the original thread, with a slight simplification:

There are probably a variety of ways to make this happen.  Here's a method I just tried that works:

1.  Find the album you want to play.  Select it and choose More Play Options > Play (with Doctor).  Now that album and a bunch of related albums are in Playing Now, but the original album is all mixed in with the rest.  Let's fix that.
2.  On the same album click More Play Options > Add (as next to play) .  Now your album is at the top of the mixed list.  You will have one extra track above it and duplicates mixed in below.  Let's fix that.
3.  Delete the top track in Playing Now.
4.  In the left Navigation Pane, choose Playing Now > Player > Remove Duplicates .

Whew.  Now your album is at the top of playing now, in order, and the "doctored" list is below it, so once the first album finishes, you'll get all of the Doctor results right after.

I think this is the fastest way to do this.  It takes about 20 seconds; not too bad.
