Auto-play stops song when song selected

[myk]

Hi everyone,

Been out of the Touchjams loop for a while. Hope some of you are still enjoying the FIRE skin I sent in. Just updated to the latest version. Is there a way to let Auto DJ finish the song playing when the PLAY button selects a song. In other words, the song playing finishes, and the manually selected song starts next. This is without the PLAT NEXT button being pressed, as it is not visible in protected mode.

Thanks for any help,

MYK

Make the PLAY NEXT button visible in protected mode is the only way i could think of, you could also HIDE any buttons you don't want to use.

It's easy to do.
A hot key will need to be configured to make use of the Control Properties - User Group.

Step 1 From the main TouchJams screen, select System / Keyboard Mapping.

Step 2 Click the Add button. Select a "Keyboard Key" - you should use function keys here, F1 would be a good key to use.
Next, in the "Function:" list, select "Control Properties - User Group", and hit the OK button.

Step 3 Close down all windows so that you are back to the TouchJams main screen.

From anywhere in the TouchJams main screens,You will have to be in ADMIN mode to view ALL buttons, simply mouse over any item which you would like to hide / unhide, and hit the hot key which you specified in Step 2 above. Once the Control Properties - User Group menue appears, select which user you would like to modify and select the items name (tick / untick) After you are finished, click apply.

Thanks tonyneen for your reply and suggestion.

The only problem with this idea is that whenever someone adds a song to the playlist, it will always play before all the other songs that were added previously by other users. No more first come, first served. I seem to remember that there was a setting for this on earlier versions of Touchjams, but I can't find it on the latest version.

Ah, got you now, try, Options, System, Playlist Options, Playlist Add Option.

Nope, this setting is already selected.

I am struggling to understand what the problem is now, i'm confused, could you have another shot at explaining your problem.
This is what i can understand so far:

1. "Is there a way to let Auto DJ finish the song playing when the PLAY button selects a song. In other words, the song playing finishes, and the manually selected song starts next."

This is how Touchjams is supposed to work, AutoDJ is just like BACKGROUND music, so when a user added track is added to the Playlist, it stops AutoDJ and plays the user added track right away.

2. "Whenever someone adds a song to the playlist, it will always play before all the other songs that were added previously by other users. No more first come, first served."

This is not how it should work, Touchjams should play them in the added order, "first come, first served".

I have never come across this problem before, sorry.
