jump to a new song after the current one

[tempe]

hi.

i want to jump to another song after finishing the current one. i.e., while playing a song already selecting the next but not skip the current.

important: i want to proceed after the selected new song from there (e.g. in that folder) and NOT opening a (dynamic) playlist or jump back to the old folder.

is that possible?

As far as I know this is so hard to do that you'll probably don't want to do it.

There's always a dynamic playlist.
There is no way to clear the list without stopping play.

You can only remove single songs from it.
To do this you go to
Context-Menu, Playlist, View Current Playlist.
On each title you want to remove, hold select, then select remove.

Once you got the dynamic playlist down to one track, select all
tracks in the file browser and add them via Playlist,Insert Last.

Or you can always insert a single track first, to get a one track playlist. Then insert other tracks. You don't have to create a multi-track playlist and then spend time removing tracks.

tempe, it kind of sounds like you want to use the "play next" option.  This should clear the current dynamic playlist and replace it with the selected file or directory but doesn't have any effect on the currently playing track.

thanks all of you!

i guess i basically dont want to use a playlist at all. instead, after the first track of the new folder, the second should follow automatically (as long as i dont interfere).

my function would be: "after this track, jump to folder x, track y and then go on with the track z (in folder x)."

chronon: with "play next", a new play list is started, so the track is played repeatedly.

tempe, "play next" doesn't alter any repeat settings so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

Rockbox is playlist oriented: There's always a current playlist, whether you load a saved one, use an insert function to populate a new dynamic playlist or simply start playing a track with the database or file browser.  As long as Rockbox is playing or paused you can view the current playlist from the WPS context menu.
