Option to switch to radio-mode at end of playlist ?

[DutchJaFO]

Spotify has this nice feature where it will switch to 'radio mode' at the end of a playlist. This is an option that is set at the system level for Spotify.

Given that we now have 'radio mode' in MA as well ... this would make it even better.

Yeah, we intend to implement something like "Don't stop the music" where you can set a preference of what to do when to queue reaches the end, such as automatically start a radio based on played tracks etc.

[DutchJaFO]

Being able to set an end-time for the playlist with an optional use as the radio to extend shorter playlists ... would probably be useful as well, because you may not always want an 'endless' playlist.

This idea has been added to the backlog for a later release

Any updates on this?

[OzGav]

The radio mode behaviour is being looked at. No ETA can be given.

This functionality is being worked on now. Hopefully will come out in the next beta or two.

Don't stop the music has been implemented in beta 30

@OzGav Is there documentation on how to use this feature yet? I've looked around the UI and documentation but can't find anything.

[OzGav]

No and we have found a bug in it so that is being discussed. Essentially it is either on or off. Currently, it is defaulted to on. If you are finding it isn’t always (or ever) working then that is the bug.
