Title: Difference between "after current file" and "at beginning of next track"
Post by: goofy on February 22, 2021, 02:21:50

When rightclicking on Stop button, a context menu appears, having two confusing options: "Stop playback after current file" and "Suspend playback at beginning of next track". From the text i can understand a difference, but their behavior is essentially the same: when the current song finishes, advance to the next one but don't start playing it.

First of all, the question is why have them both. Again, i can understand the difference between stop (stop) and suspend (pause) but since they seem to have the same result, having them both seems a little confusing.

Having said that, personally i'm missing an option to "Stop playback after current file but do not advance to the next one" (which i hoped that "Stop playback after current file" would do). Is there a way to achieve that? If not, please have it in mind as a wish for some future version.

First option does not start the next track, it just stop playback. In second case, next file will be loaded and paused at begining. This option provides an ability to start next track immediatelly (without delay to load and prepare the file), it is useful for DJs

Hi.

Thanks for the explanation, it was what i suspected.

I would like to make a wish then, to add an option to "Stop playback after current file finishes playing" without advancing to the next one in the list.

Thanks again.
