  • Help for newbie please - songs done

Hi, I have just purchased Stage Traxx and would like to compliment you on what I consider to be an excellent product. I’m getting used to the functionality but there is one thing I can’t puzzle out and it doesn’t seem to be covered in the manual.
Problem:
I have created just one playlist of 27 songs, I’ve played them all and they show as done.
How do I clear the done flags to start the list again?
It’s probably really obvious but I can’t see it.
Also, I was wondering if there is a plan to update the online manual as the GUI seems to have evolved since it was last edited.
Many thanks

    Ok, so having gone back to the manual I realise I didn’t understand the queue function correctly.
    So my question is now slightly different.
    I’ve cleared the queue and simply want to add my entire playlist again. If I tap a single song from the playlist I can see the number indicating that it’s added to the queue, but I can’t see a way of simply adding the entire playlist?
    Sometimes when I tap a single song the queue indicates that 4 songs are added at once?
    Also, I don’t understand why the songs in the playlist indicate “done” if the queue is actually the player.
    Sorry if I’m being slow but help would be much appreciated
    thanks

      And I have now managed to add my playlist to the queue.
      But in order to do that I had to clear the history.
      Is that the intended behaviour?
      many thanks

        Hi Steve,

        welcome to the Stage Traxx experience 😃

        I always update it with new versions. Which portions do not match the app?

        Don't worry about the queue if you have "Advanced Queue Mode" off. Just select a song from a playlist and ST3 will continue playing this playlist from that point.

        SteveH Also, I don’t understand why the songs in the playlist indicate “done” if the queue is actually the player.

        Songs remain markes as "DONE" until you clear the History. That way you can keep track of played songs over a long time period if you want.

        SteveH But in order to do that I had to clear the history.
        Is that the intended behaviour?

        Yes, ST3 will skip played songs. But you can disable this behavior in the settings. It will then no longer mark songs as played and will not skip over played songs.

        Hi Peter, thank you for your speedy response.
        I’m getting on pretty well now. My confusion with the app came about because I watched an introduction video on you tube which is about 8 years old and and this pre dates the introduction of the Queue. I’m not sure if there is an updated video but I certainly couldn’t find one.
        This also explains why I thought the manual was out of sync with the app.
        Thanks again for your feedback and for developing a great app.
