[mythtv-users] Re: (Ciaran) - New MythMusic Theme - 4 Bins

[Ciaran]

Hmm, perhaps my usage is strange behaviour then.  Effectively I'd like
it to 'use up' items on a playlist, so its busy playing random songs,
then I enqueue a song to play next, then one after, and then one after
that, once its played one song on the 'queued' list it then plays the
next, then the next, but after that one, the 'queued' list is played
out and it just goes back to playing whatever it was going to do
before, either part of a playlist or general random play.

Often I'll have set up the playlist to play say some 'Muse', then
someone says, oh I was listening to this great track the other night,
have you got .... 'Hey jude' . ...clickity click, hey jude comes up ,
plays through and then it automatically goes back to the 'muse'
playlist,

But perhaps no-one else wants behaviour like this, and I just need to
re-train myself ;)
