Ok, I think I understand. I'll see what I can do in the next version.

Would I be able to use this function to only play albums from a playlist? (I reviewed this entire thread but didn't see it mentioned)

Thank you!

You have to use a 'collection' instead of a playlist. But collections work roughly the same.

Thanks for the quick response----is a Collection something I'd need to create as opposed to a playlist or am I somehow reclassifying a playlist as a collection? Sorry but I wasn't familiar with the Collection designation.

Thanks again!

Yep, under file -> manage collections. You can create a new collection there.

You can simply make the only criterium for that collection to have it contain the songs from the playlist that you would like to use for this script.

Then under the script config add the newly made collection under library filter and you're set.

Did you go to Tools>Options>Player>Auto DJ?

I don't think anything native to MM calculates BPM, if that is what you meant.

okay, tyvm. Now I have a song and I would like to find other songs that have a similar tempo to it and create a playlist. How can I add songs that have the same tempo as the selected song

You can create an auto playlist to do this, BUT you have to have a value in the BPM field...Edit Properties>Details. I don't think MM does this, as I said, and I've not had much success with third party software. There is also a script called Stay in Same Style that has BPM as a choice. But again, you need a value in the BPM field.

Is "auto beats dj" a collection? If so, then I'm stumped, sorry.

Sorry, I've never seen that message before, I've got no idea about that.

This script will use the BPM value that is in the field, but it cannot calculate it.

So I might be reviving a dead thread here, but I read the whole damn thing and couldn't find anything addressing this...

If the now playing section has been populated with only part of an album using auto-dj/this script and then I start playing a new album from my library (i.e. the now playing section is repopulated with the album I double clicked in my library) once the auto-dj/this script starts adding songs into the now playing list it starts adding from where it left off adding songs to now playing (not where I actually left off playing songs).

So if I double click the last song of an album in the library pane and I have auto-dj set to always maintain 20 songs then it will populate the now playing list with, for instance, all songs from an album that has 12 tracks and then the first 8 tracks from the next album. So far so good. If I only listen to 3 songs, then tracks 9, 10 and 11 will be added to the now playing list. Again, this works as intended. But if I now double click the last song of some other album in the library pane auto-dj/this script will add 20 new tracks to now playing list starting with track 12 of the album that was added previously. I would prefer it to start at track 1 of some other new album since, at least in this scenario, I never made it to even the first track of the album that is now being added to now playing starting on track 12.

Best current workaround I have is to limit the auto-dj function to only add one track at a time, so at least I'm going back to the place I was previously listening to and only skipping one track.
last.fm signatures don't work anymore, which is sad. Any easy replacement?

One enhancement suggestion - add a setting to insert a designated MP3 at the start of each new album that is added. I'd use this to add a brief silence to avoid a jarring transition!
