[quote="windcrest77"]If I create a playlist it would be nice to be able to add a column to the playlist grid that displays the actual time of day each song in the playlist will be played whenever and wherever the playlist is started (or stopped and restarted). I do DJ work using MM and sometimes I have a certain time of day that something else needs to happen like the band will be off break, I need to play a birthday dance at 10:05, somebody needs me to step away for 10 minutes, I gotta go collect money at the door, somebody wants to dance with me, etc. If I have a running [u]actual time of day column[/u] in my current playlist then I could more easily plan how many songs to drop into the list and know an exact time I can go off "auto pilot". This will enable me to leave my post and know certain timings in case I am juggling multiple tasks. Intervals and total play time are nice, but when I step away all I have is my watch and I want that synched with my playlist at all times.[/quote]

Additiionally this column should re-update the current and all subsequent song start times every time a new song starts playing or any time an item is added or removed. That way it will be more accurate in case there are gaps. Sometimes as the evening is ending I will want to cue up just enough numbers to reach 11 PM and no more, so I can go off and start cleaning the place at 10:45 to get closed on time. It would be incredibly handy if I could just drag songs until I see the playlist ending at 11PM instead of having to pull out my calculator and decide how much to add to the list to target a certain time of day. Same goes for the band breaks that occur every hour by contract and last 15 minutes, I can cue up just enough music to target when the band starts again.
