Hello,

I am new to this software and to this forum, but so far it looks really promising and my experience with fb2k have been wonderful so far. I am missing a few things, tho. Let me explain.

I've looked into autoplaylists and I've made a playlist, which contains all tracks with %rating% GREATER 1, but .. I'd really like a way, to be able to "browser" albums/artists/tracks, while the autoplaylist keeps playing, even thought I am viewing something else. As it is now, when the track from the autoplaylist ends (any playlist for that matter), fb2k choose a random track from the tracks viewing. Can I somehow tell it to only play this autoplaylist, even if I viewing something else?

Another thing, when making manual playlists .. the tab keeps changing to the "Library Viewer Selection" obviously. That means when I have to add tracks to a certain playlist I have to find the track, select it, click on the playlist (the tab) .. and then I am able to shift-enter to add it. There most be something smarter? It's a pain to add alot of different tracks.

Maybe I missed the idea behind the managing-/playing system, which means I would be doing it wrong :-)

Thanks!

Think that is cursor follows playback. dont know for sure, but I have enabled that and i don't have the same thing as you, the playing playlist keeps playing (except when i double click another playlist in playlistmanager or in librarymanagers). Enable this under Playback in the menubar.

For your second question, if you want to keep library viewer selection, you should get used to playback queue. That is available in context menu as Add to playback queue and you can also asign a keyboard shortcut to that. Playback queue viewer is an optional component that makes a playlist with all queued items in it.

Its also possible to bind Add to playlist, but that toggles a choice for a playlist you want to add songs to, so involves more steps.

Drag and drop between playlists is possible without focussing the playlist you drop a song on.

If you hate the library viewer selection you can disable that under preferences > media library. Uncheck library viewer selection. All librarymanagers are configurable now without loading a playlist automatically.

The OP has enabled "Playback follows Cursor".

Yeah, i meant he has to enable cursor follows playback. Didn't know his foob's behaviour was caused by playback follows cursor, if it is, switching it is the solution don't you think?

Based on what the OP mentions, "It plays a random track from the playlist i'm viewing", it seems like turning Playback Follows Cursor would solve his problem.

To keep it from changing:

File -> Preferences -> Media Library -> Uncheck "Activate when changed" or deactivate the "Library Selection Playlist" all together.

Thanks alot! Solve everything .. I have no clue how I enabled that cursor thing, because it's not default as far as I can see

[Main Menu] -> Playback -> Playback follows Cursor
