Hello, You've got my mind ticking. Do currently playing carts keep playing if you drop into manual mode? I would like to keep everything playing from Rivendell if possible. Thinking that I could enter manual mode when this kind of cart is playing, and then drop back to Automatic once it's finished (or nearly finished) by using a script to monitor the status.
