Re: how can I automatically play files never played before?
This is already possible using a new music selection:
- Open "Settings/Playback/Automatic control" and enable the "If the playlist is empty..." option.
- Click onto the three points aright of the combo box
This will open the music-selection-dialog:
- In the music-selection-dialog, create a new music selection using "Menu/New music selection" (enter eg. "Rarely played" as the name). Then change the cirterion from "Title/artist/album contains..." to "Limit result to 20 tracks by least often played"
- To get a random track of all tracks never played before, add another criterion by clicking on the "+" button and set the criterion to "Limit result to 20 tracks by random".
- Click on the "Close" button (say "yes" if you are asked whether to save the music selection)
Back in the "Automatic control" settings:
- Now, the combo box contains a new entry named eg. "Rarely played" - just select this entry and click on okay.
That's all.
