Automatically Play Files with Auto-DJ

Auto-DJ
Auto-DJ allows MediaMonkey to automatically add files to the 'Playing' queue before reaching the end of the queue. It will randomly and indefinitely play from a specified set of files when the 'Playing' queue runs out, and is especially useful when you don't feel like choosing files manually or when user or DJ-selected files at a party run out.
Auto-DJ is configured via Tools > Options > Auto-DJ / 'Playing' list, and can be enabled/disabled via Play > Auto-DJ from the Main Menu. You can set how many remaining files Auto-DJ should manage in the 'Playing'. For example you can set it to always keep 5 songs in the queue to be played. You can also set what files should be auto-added to the 'Playing' by Auto-DJ. You can have it select files from the Entire Library, a specific Collection or a specific Playlists.
Tools > Options > Playback rules has an Ignore Auto-DJ when playing setting that will override Auto-DJ.
'Playing' list
In the 'Playing' list settings you can have MediaMonkey auto-remove files from the 'Playing' that have been played. You can have it retain all files or a limited amount of files. This is useful when you don't plan on listening to files that have already been played again and allows you to reduce the amount of files shown in the 'Playing' automatically. This feature won't work when Shuffle is enabled.
Notes
- Automatically retain xx previous files in 'Playing' is disabled while in Shuffle is enabled
- Automatically retain xx previous files in 'Playing' is useful to reduce the amount of files shown in 'Playing' and thus reducing the startup time of MediaMonkey. The same goes for Auto-DJ. The combination of the 2 allows the user to maintain only a few songs in the 'Playing' while still playing all files from the Entire Library, a specific Collection or a specific Playlists and thus improve the startup time of MediaMonkey.
