Auto playlist BPM / Sequential Playlisting / MusicNonStop

[toby_prin]

Hi All!

Hope this finds you well. Quick question as I have a slight issue.

I have autoplaylists which first filter by rating and then sort the BPM nicely, then another Autoplaylist to collate the first BPM sorted ones.

My issue is that the BPM sorting is lost on the second playlist - It brings the playlists in order as I want (ie rating) but no BPM sorting....

I wish I could sort by rating, then by BPM, but that's just not the order I need it in! It's quite complex...

I found a windows scripting / scheduler thing, but that looks a bit above my head, and I worry it will cut tracks off halfway. Also, I did hope the musicnonstop script may help, but that's not the solution.

Any ideas forum?!!

The problem is with the creation of the second play list.

I am certain what you want MM to do is beyond what the MM programmers have envisioned. When you add extreme complexity to code it becomes unreliable. They should not honor your request if you added this to to the wish list.
Back to the reality...
Can you export the tunes in the first playlist that works fine into a virtual disk? If so you can import those files int a static play list and do what ever. Of course this is work but you are the one that wanted things a particular way. It should be you that does the work.

You can use the script by peke it won't or( doesn't for me) cut the songs off but it is the way to get fully automated jukebox playing. You need to use the custom fields and put your bpm in one of those the same 1 on all songs. Then in the auto Playlist rules tell it to look at the custom field for the bpm you want in the now playing list. Make multiple lists for the bpm then put the name of the auto list in the script of pekes set a task to start mm 1 minute later have a task start the script to play the auto list. Can't start both the same time as monkey takes time to load so it wouldn't see the script tell it to play the list.
I have been doing this since peke wrote the script worn out 2 computers and the scripts haven't cut a song off yet. Now the computer crashes have.
Also use a 3rd party system scheduler windows one use to crash and wipe out all the task jobs.

Ok can you really put things UP so that we can arrange it in the manner it should work, or at least try to make it work.

@toby_prin
- Can you PM link where I can DL your MM.db?
- Let us know here which playlist sare in question?
- How would you like to Join them?
- How you think played tracks should be excluded in order to keep things in sequence?

@oldtimer
MMW is designed to be able to do workaround and no need to export things physically but do it internally within MMW and compile new static Playlist

@RC
You are still using that script?? Is it almost 10 years?

Yes I am peke it works so I'm not changing from it.
You did good job on it.
