Play Music NOT in Queue

Postby foxint » 14 Apr 2016, 08:42

Hi Guys.....

I have just got the music to play...it has been (for me) such a tramatic experience...I will have to take some time out to enjoy the music....

I do have a user question.....

Can I:
1. set Rune to play continuosuly from top to bottom of all my music, without putting it into the queue
2. set to random without using queue.

I am sure there are lots of people with lots of music...surely it is a pain putting the music in the queue??

Is it possible to play NOT using the queue?

Hi Frank

Thank you for the link.

I read the link and it totally confused me...

Just to explain what I would like to do.....

To make it easy I would like to...pick a file in my HDD music and push play...the Rune plays that track and then the next and the next....without having to put it into the queue....I can do this with my other player.

Thank you... I am happy to hear the solution from anyone....

foxint > You could use the "other player", maybe? But seriously, you can select a folder (album) of files (songs) or a single song from many folders. They then are added to the 'que', you can 'trash bin' the cue if you want to start with a new folder or series of songs. You can also save cue's to be played another day. Say for instance 20 rock songs in cue-1, and 40 pop songs in cue-2, and 5 complete albums in cue-3, and so on. When saving cue's the songs themselves must remain in the same place on the source (HDD, USB Flash Drive, or Network Shared folder), otherwise RuneAudio will not be able to find them when you play that exact cue another day. I think there is also a 'random' play feature too... this allows for, ummm, random play. LoL.

Edit: global random will play all songs, one after the other (not in any order!), from any source (HDD, USB Flash Drive, or Network Shared folder) in a random fashion (not pre-selected). So, there are two ways to select music, either 'cue' or 'random'. I'm afraid the Pi, and Rune software, has not yet attained mind reading status. I'm hoping it will soon as it'll make things a lot easier. LoL! If you need instructions to enable global random let me know and I'll do a quick write up here. If you need instructions to set up a pre-defined cue let me know and I'll do a quick write up here. If you need instructions to delete (trash bin) a cue let me know and I'll do a quick write up here.

"pick a file in my HDD music and push play" <----- If you select a FOLDER, not a single FILE, then Rune will play all FILES in that FOLDER. If you select a single FILE, Rune will play THAT file only. Rune is obeying your instructions. You can cue many FOLDERS, and all the FILES inside all those FOLDERS will be played one after the other without having to select and cue each and every file inside the folder. You can cue many FILES from different FOLDERS, and all the FILES from different FOLDERS will be played one after the other without having to select and cue each and every file inside the folder. You can save cues later use. Thus making it easier (and closer to mind reading). LoL!

Sir:
"If you select a FOLDER, not a single FILE, then Rune will play all FILES in that FOLDER. If you select a FILE, Rune will play THAT file only. "

I used the "Add and Play" selecting the folder...NOTHING. I checked the queue and all the trackes are there...the play circle is moving but no sound??? It is at 54....I can move to the next track still nothing....

I am veyr happy to choose the Album and play...but no sound....I obvious have not done something???

If you re-installed Rune then you need to re-configure the Digi+, have you done that? If you have not done a re-install, then it should play...

Gentlemen

The radio plays, just not the flac files when the folder is selected.

I have egg on my face....it was the album I was trying...seems like the album does not work....I have to apologise....all my albums worked in the PC software...??

I am totally confused.

My apologies.
