Auto Insert-Next using current track info
« on: November 09, 2012, 02:20:44 AM »
A command (used in a .cfg and/or menu) that does an  Inserts-Next to the dynamic playlist using current track's Artist or Album or path information.
 
This would be used after doing the big directory shuffle and when you want to hear the rest of the album or artist catalog. 

devs don't like unshuffle or random play. this a workaround.
 
thanks

this can be done through the database.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

yes, i can do it manualy with the dbase or (with my) files system.

1st, i have to have a theme that displays the album title and artis of the current playing file. or I can go thru the WPS contex menu that takes 10 key press to "Show Track Info"

2nd i need my reading glasses with me.  Voice does not speak the Album name of the current playing file or dbase.

3rd Then navigate to find the album and do a insert next.

I was requesting an auto insert of current playing track's Album.
From WPS [Long Select]-> Contex Menu->Insert Current Album Next

Could be done as a .ROCK file?

The database has a "Same as ..." sub menu which will automatically grab the current tracks info and get you what you want.

Found it. Thanks!!!

However, there's no voice dbase and it's 8 keypresses (after power-up).

Can I script it?  like in a .CFG file?

No, we have no scripting support in the database. It's something which has been on the wish list forever but noone has stepped up.
