Remove from Now Playing through the Tray menu [#6745]

[drd309]

I'm a new MM user, it's great program!

I'm a bit surprised that some obvious (from my point of view ) features are missing in MM.
My be my point of view is unique... but look.

My usual way to listen/collect music:
1. I download a pile of mp3.
2. Then I put them to Now Playing, listen them, usually in background.
3.At the end put what I like in my collection (usually it's just small part of the pile).

Isn't it common way??

On the step 2 the most common situation - I hear that current song is crap.
So, I need a fast, 1-2 clicks solution to do the following:
1. Remove a track from the Now playing - I don't need a crap to be listen twice.
2. Immediately jump to a next track - I don't need to continue listening a crap.

To do this in MM I should:
1. Switch to the MM main window.
2. Right click on the track.
3. Remove the track.
4. Click on Next.
5. Switch back to an application I'm working with.

No too handy .

So, I'm looking for:
Option - when click Next in the Tray menu - remove current track from Now Playing.
or
Adding Remove item to the Tray menu (and Remove should immediately jump to the next track).

Is it possible in MM?
Thanks!

Most people will add all songs to the library and rate bad songs with a bomb. Filters can hide these tracks or if you want you can delete bombed tracks at a later point.

Go into Options, and on the Confirmations sheet, enable the confirmation for removing a track from the Now Playing list. Then, when you remove the track from the now playing list, you get a confirmation window asking if you would like to simply remove it from the now playing list, remove it from the now playing list and library, or remove it from the now playing list, library and computer. With the last one, it will delete it from all three and then move on to the next track. If you have the confirmation on for deleting the currently playing track, it will warn you that deleting it will interrupt playback and offer you the opportunity to continue with deleting or cancel out. If you have that confirmation off, then it continues deleting without prompt.

Ok, thanks, but how to prevent them from playing again? They are remain in Now Playing.
And how to use a filter in Now Playing?

You would still need to open MediaMonkey's main window to remove bomb tracks from the Now Playing. You also don't filter the Now Playing, but instead the Library: http://www.mediamonkey.com/sw/webhelp/f ... monkey.htm

There is no way to remove a track from the Now Playing from the tray nor by hotkey.

Thanks, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for:
1. Not available from Tray menu.
2. I don't want to remove bad tracks from computer/library. Keeping them helps me to avoid downloading same bad tracks in the future.

Again here is my scenario. Let say I put 100 songs in now playing.
They play in background for many days on my computer, let say 10 times in a loop .
Meanwhile I do my routine job on the computer, let say web browsing.
Occasionally, some terrible song attracts my attention.
What I need - QUICKLY stop this song and remove ONLY from Now Playing WITHOUT INTERRUPTION of my web browsing.
(Is there any another scenario to prevent garbage come to my collection??)

Best way for me - to have an Option "Remove from Now Playing when push Next".
But there is no this option in MM.

Best option is to rate bomb (from tray or hotkey) and select play next (from tray or hotkey). Once in a while you will need to open MediaMonkey and remove the bomb tracks from Now Playing.

Another option is to setup AutoDJ with an AutoPlaylist. AutoPlaylist can have a criteria if rating not bomb and AutoDJ will automatically add/delete tracks so bomb tracks won't get played again.

Thanks, so far it's the best solution for me!
But HotKey (or/and Tray item) for Remove+GoNext will be amazing .
