Maybe you can hookup your phone via the headphone out?

MMW DLNA: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index. ... ervers/4.0 There are apps that can control DLNA servers and clients. However I'd worry about slow switching between tracks and lack of crossfading control.

I had looked into bluetooth receiver for my DJ rig but was advised that I can expect both signal drop and audio quality loss so had to abandon that idea.If I can control MMW via my phone in any way that would be great.

Can you link me to info on the DLNA Casting please? First I am hearing of this option.

MMA can do Bluetooth and Chromecast. MMW can do DLNA casting.

Yes, it works as stated, thanks! I love this app, love the crossfading time too, will try it out on my son's bluetooth speakers in a while when he gets home.

Ideally I would love to have this app play through my DJ rig "wireless", I inquired on the Vox Commando but so far no response there, any way you might know of please?

That's the button and that means the files listed where added in random order to the Now Playing. Shuffle will still be in the state it was before as it operates independently.

Sorry not understanding that as I am only playing mp3 files.

I think the white arrow pointing to the right which as tiny gray coiored circle on it is the Random Play button? If yes, when pressed it goes to the Now playing screen, does this mean the Random Play is activated this way?

The Random Play button is only shown when you're viewing media files that MMA can play, it will show at the top right. It's a play triangle with a shuffle icon on top.

Can you tell me which icon turns on the Shuffle Play feature please? When I choose Folders from the main menu and select a folder from the Library I am seeing only 3 icons at the top right, an arrow pointing to the right which when pressed goes to the Now Playing screen, the Search icon and the 4 dots with the different options?

No, which is why I suggested to use Random Play instead. This adds the files shuffled to the Now Playing, but allows Play Next to work as expected.

Re: Problem creating playlist

Any way to have Play Next work when shuffling is on?

AHH, got it now, thank you very much! I will experiment some more with everything tonight.

Those appear at the bottom of the screen when you select a media file.

No i got that part about searching for and playing a file but when I do a search and click or press on the file all it does it check the box to the right of it. I am not seeing a Play Next or play Last option anywhere.

Re: Problem creating playlist

by Lowlander » Tue Jan 22, 2019 2:28 pm

Like I said, long press the file and select Play Next or Play Last at the bottom of the screen and the file will be inserted in the chosen position.


If you want Shuffle and want to control what plays next when inserting additional files you'll need to start with adding the files with Shuffle Play (top of screen) to have files added in random order. Make sure Shuffle itself is disabled so that you have control over play order.

Great, thanks! That's what I want.

I don't really need a playlist, I simply need to select any of my music folders on the phone, have MM shuffle the chosen folder and play it continuously. Whenever I need to hear "any" tune from not only that folder but from any folder on the phone, I want to search for and play that tune and Play Next, that's about it, how should I go about this please?
