Well, it's a bit complicated, since there are several ways to create a MiP mix already : - Click the "MM" icon in the web UI (applies to track/album/artist/genre) - Press and hold the "Play" button (applies to track/album/artist/genre) - Select "Create a MusicIP mix" option (only applies to track)
Basically, we would only need a "Preview mixes first" (short : "preview") option in the MusicIP plugin settings and have it defaulting to 'checked', so that we keep the actual behaviour. When unchecked, we would not review the mix before playing it or adding it to the current playlist. First, I can't think of any reason why, when there's nothing playing actually, one would not want the created MiP mix to replace the current playlist and start playing immediately, whatever the "preview" option is set to. Hence, I don't think there's any need for a third state (a kind of 'smart' or 'auto' value) for the "preview" option. I may be wrong, so I'm waiting for anybody's feedback here. Second, I'm pretty sure we all agree to this point : creating a MiP mix from the currently playing track should not lead to the currently playing track to be restarted when the mix is launched. HOW IT'S WORKING NOW _Web_UI_ 1. Click "MM" icon on track/album/artist/genre = Create & preview MiP mix 2.1 Click "Play" on MiP mix playlist = replace current playlist with MiP mix & start playing 2.2 Click "Add" on MiP mix playlist = add MiP mix at the end of the current playlist _Play_button_ 1. Press and hold "Play" button on track/album/artist/genre = Create & preview MiP mix 2.1 Press "Play" = replace current playlist with MiP mix & start playing 2.2 Press "Add" = add MiP mix at the end of the current playlist 2.3 Press & hold "Add" = insert MiP mix into the playlist after the currently playing song _Create_a_MusicIP_Mix_ 1. Press controller's wheel button or SB/TP remote's "Right arrow" on the "Create a MusicIP Mix" option of a track = Create & preview MiP mix 2.1 Press "Play" button or controller's wheel button = replace current playlist with MiP mix & start playing 2.2 Press "Add" = add MiP mix at the end of the current playlist 2.3 Press & hold "Add" = insert MiP mix into the playlist after the currently playing song HOW IT COULD BE WORKING _Web_UI_ NB : I'm assuming it's possible to handle a "long" click on icons, like with the remove button.
