Select Auto DJ Mode

Database Shuffle
Based on criteria specified by the user, the AlbumPlayer randomly adds albums or tracks from your entire database to the playlist. Settings and the criteria are defined in two tab pages: Auto DJ tab: Database Shuffle and Auto DJ tab: Database Shuffle Filter.

Direct Play
In this mode the AlbumPlayer adds tracks automatically from the active collection in the album grid in sequential order. The next track to play is the next track in the currently playing album, or when album ends, first track of the next album in collection.  The Direct Play mode can be compared for example with the way a car audio player works or a handheld mp3 player. When the player is switched on, a playlist is not required it just plays from the available albums in sequential order starting from the point it was switched off last time. To achieve this behavior as close as possible, at least the playlist should be automatically saved at AlbumPlayer shutdown. You can do this in the General 2 page of the preferences dialog. It is also a good idea (but not necessary) to combine the Direct Play mode with playlist settings Auto Remove Track after Playing and Auto Remove Track on Skip.
