Detailed Instructions Please!

Postby TryingButConfused » Sat Apr 28, 2012 2:57 am

I have just down loaded Mixxx1.10.0. My OS is Windows XP and I simply want detailed instructions on how, after creating a playlist I can have each song on the playlist play through until the end. I have seen what appears to be not only conflicting instructions, but incomplete instructions as well. On one hand I read that I could use auto dj and toggle the "Enable Auto DJ" button, but did not identify where this button was located and I have not been able to find it. Then there were the instructions that said that after creating a play list and loaded the first track to set the "End of Track" mode to "Next" and that would accomplish what I want. But I have not been able to find an "End of Track" mode to set to next. Then someone said that play through was removed because of confusion with using it, and I can say that I am either confused, lost, or can't find what is in front of my face, which I admit is a problem I sometimes have. So if someone can provide me with detailed instructions including exactly where the "Enable Auto DJ" button is, how to set the "End of Track" mode or both, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks

Hello and welcome to Mixxx.
Forget "End of track mode/Next" an such, they are gone in your version of Mixxx.
Its now pretty easy, the "Enable Auto DJ" button is under the .......Auto DJ tab.

Step-by step:
* Make sure you have already created a playlist with some tracks in it
* In the library`s tree-view click on the little triangle in front of "Playlists" to view all your existing playlists
* Select the playlist you want and perform a right click to vie the mouse menu
* Click on "Add to Auto-DJ Queue" from the mouse menu (Picture #1)
* Goto the Auto DJ menu point in the tree-view, the tracks from your playlist
* Click on the "Enable Auto DJ button to the right , first track gets loaded into deck 1 (Picture #2)
* Now click the Play button on deck 1 to start the playback
* Done

Note: You can always drag-and drop single/multiple tracks from your library or playlists directly on the AutoDJ icon to have them added to the Auto DJ queue
