My requirements are very simple. I am not a regular DJ in the sense that I do not have to 'mix' tracks and do any beatmatching or cueing. My music is mainly meant for dancing Tango where songs play one after the other in sequence, with 'break' songs every 3 or 4 songs where people change partners or go back to sitting on the side of the floor. The DJ is still deeply involved durnig the DJing process because he or she has to observe the dancers for changes in enerrgy and tweak the playlist accordingly.
Not to deter you from using Mixxx, but it sounds like more traditional play-from-a-playlist applications would better suit you, like Clementine, Amarok, WinAmp, etc. Have you looked at those or am I misunderstanding your use case?
But to answer your questions:
1. A means to play songs off of a playlist - this is something I need to fix and is the reason for my email.
It sounds like something isn't working right because there shouldn't have been a regression between 1.11 and 1.12. Please file a bug with more details so we can track it down.
So I want to ask the developers and RJ if it will be too difficult to implement a feature wherein songs won't be knocked off the AutoDJ queue.
That's certainly possible and I would even say easy, since it would just be a matter of adding (yet another) preference option tied to a small conditional code block in the play list handler that simply skips the deletion or re-queuing. But I've never worked on the playlist code myself.
You should do the work against master then submit a pull request in GIT. That way the feature can be added to a future Mixxx version. (The 1.11 code is quite old and much has changed since then.)
