ok, got the 1236 version... now the PlayNext! option does appears in the NowPlaying context menu so that's fine but the shuffle doesn't turn back on after choosing a track... so will post this remaining issue to the thread you suggested

update: OK, now working with MM 3.1.0_1236! ... thanks very much Ray for this! together with DreadM's NoirBlue skin (esp. the MiniPlayer skin) my MM is perfect... thanks nohitter for staying with me!

1. Might be best to post that info at the script's official thread: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =2&t=38616
2. Why did you install 1232? (1236 is the latest available build)

in the Library window it does appear in the track context menu, does skip to the next track but does not turn shuffle back on after running (the selected next track does play)
From Ray's first post in the script thread:
Note that V3.1 (currently in beta) is required as it uses OnShuffleClicked and OnPlayBackEnd events which were introduced in 3.1.

A supported installation package is available here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =2&t=38616

@jkforde - I think this little script might do what you're looking for. Extract and copy to scripts\auto\playnext.vbs.
Let me know if it works for you and if so I'll make an install package for it.

To use, right click on a track in the track list window and select Play Next! It will place the selected track after the current playing track in now playing. If shuffle is on it will temporarily turn it off. When the next track (the one you clicked on to play next) starts playing it will turn shuffle back on.

Edit: Addressed the second part of your request to set the Next track in the now playing window (assuming I understood correctly). When you select a track in the Now Playing window and right-click on Play Next!, that track will be played next regardless if Shuffle is on or off. If it's on, it will turn it off temporarily and turn it back on when the next track starts playing.

Edit: Update addresses a couple issues with shuffle state changes.

I guess you already know the story that its not possible and that's why you posted to the wishlist.

Shuffle & next track - what's the story?

by jkforde » Sat Apr 04, 2009 6:02 pm

hi, any way to get MM to play a track via 'play next' even when shuffle is on. i know about the randomise list workaround etc - just want to choose a track to play next but still maintain a shuffle for the rest of the tracks...and any way to get 'play next' in the now playing list content menu??
