Having to always select (i.e., enable) the ability to repeat a playlist when it ends is annoying (the same thing with shuffle). We should be able to just choose
Play and have MMA play tracks (using random tracks and playlist that repeat, if possible). One way to improve these features in MMA is to add an
Option to always repeat playlist when complete (the same thing for shuffle). Maybe something like "Repeat playlist by default" and "Shuffle playlist tracks by default". If it is a selectable
Option in MMA, the user can enable these features to be the default and they wouldn't have to be selected each time MMA is used.
BTW - what I mean by
Play is that when I use MMA and I'm playing tracks in a playlist, and I exit MMA, the next time that I use MMA, I just select the
Play icon and it will continue and play tracks from the same playlist that I had used previously. However, if I don't use the shuffle overlay icon to initiate playing the tracks, then it doesn't shuffle the playlist any longer. So to get it to shuffle the playlist, I have to go into the playlist and choose to shuffle it each time (versus just being able to play the tracks in the playlist by using Play).
These two features should be available (selectable) to be enabled by default in
Options.
Thanks
