hello,
the new "automatic control" feature is very good, but i do not have a choice to play "files never played before" automatically.

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.
