How to auto-play newly added song?

[ChocoboLee]

This seems like such an obvious feature, but I can't find a way to do this. How do you make it so that if you use the webserver to add a new song to an empty rotation, it auto-plays that song?

oh, umm, yeah. not done yet.

Thanks Dave. Do you have any ideas when this will be implemented? I plan to have kJams running on my Mac Mini hooked up to my TV/speakers and then just controlling the adding of songs via iphone. If I have to pull out the mouse to start the song each time, it's a deal breaker for me.

Other than this one small but crucial issue, kJams is great. So if this is implemented, it's an instant purchase of the pro version for me.

i don't really like feeling *pressured* to do something, so i hope in the future you keep that to a minimum.

but i *do* care about what my users require, and this has been requested before, AND it's pretty easy. so yeah, this feature will be in the next update. please indicate if you want it always on, or if you'd like a pref, and if you want it to *always* auto start (even when you drag and drop) or if you ONLY want it to happen if it comes from a web server client.

Dave, sorry if if you felt like I was pressuring you. Didn't mean it that way. Just wanted to let you know that I really want it.

For my use case, if it's coming from the web server client, it should always auto-start. But I think there may be people that don't want it to auto-start for drag and drop and maybe even for web server client. So I think a pref makes the most sense. Maybe default it to auto-start.

ok, that makes sense. i think i'll just put in a check box pref for "on" , "off" (always), and see if i get feedback that it should be split out into server-nonserver.
