Auto Album DJ 3.8 - Updated 08/08/2010

A genre from the list in options.

I'm sorry, what does this mean?

Sorry. When I go into the Auto Album DJ options (more). I check "Jazz" from the popup list under the genre filter.

Well in that case you should only ever have jazz albums selected. Sorry, I think I may have misread your first post. I've never seen an album selected that isn't of the right genre. Maybe this album was already selected and queued internally (not in the now playing list) before you selected jazz?

That's probably the answer. Thanks.

Hi, this option finally convinced me to switch away from iTunes (along with a droid), but your script seems to improperly add some albums insomuch as it only adds a few (and sometimes only one) song, and not necessarily the first track. Any suggestions? MM3 recognizes the tracks as being in the same album, and I synchronized tags with no result. I am using MM3, AADJ 3.5, and Windows 7.

[DJeter1234]

Also possibly pertinent, when i manually add a complete album to the now playing list that had only been partially added by AADJ 3.5, and then press the next album button, it correctly skips the entire album

[trixmoto]

Well this script will not add the whole album at once, it only adds the tracks as they are called upon depending on your settings, but left to it's own devices it should load all the tracks from an album in order. Is this not happening?

[DJeter1234]

Correct, it is moving on to the next album before adding/playing all the tracks on the current album.

Can you create a debug log and send it to me?

New version (3.6) is now available to download from my website. Changes include...

- Fixed min. and avg. ratings not working for half star values
- Fixed rating boundaries for non-standard values
- Fixed errors if cached song IDs are no longer in library
- Fixed "play a new album" sometimes clearing cache incorrectly

Hi,

I tried using your script but got a Runtimeerror in VBScript
(Error #424, Object required: 'list', Line: 630, Column: 4)
Any ideas?

Ooops! You'll need to replace lines 629-632...

Code: Select all

    End If
    If list.Count = 0 Then
      Set list = Nothing
    End If

...with...

Code: Select all

      If list.Count = 0 Then
        Set list = Nothing
      End If
    End If

OK, that got rid of the error, but still it's not really working. AutoDJ just keeps it's normal behavior, that is filling the playlist with random songs from all my albums, and not all songs from a random album.
I did choose "Auto AlbumDJ" in the "add tracks from"-rolldown in the options panel.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanx in advance

Please ignore my last post; I found the problem.
(The script was set to use a minimum rating of 3, but since I never use the rating feature all my albums are rated "unknown" thus the script could not find any album.)
Anyway, now its working I like this addon alot!
Trixmoto, thanks for sharing this (and all your other) scripts!! Great work, man!

Greetz,

Thanks, I'm glad you've got it working and are enjoying it!

This script is so good, thanks. I just switched from my main pc to my spare and really missed it.

Wins my vote for "Most important Feature I never knew I wanted"

Runner up or tied is Monkey Rock.
