Skip Track on Shuffle bx.s

This will allow you to add a skip track on shuffle property.


Skip Track on Shuffle



Description

This allows you to set tracks to skip when shuffling, similar to iTunes.

You can Edit the skiptrack setting directly from the library or from the metadata editor.




Release Notes

Fixed interface a bit so now you can exit the skiptrack setting in the same tab as the rest of the metadata in the Track Editor.
(Please see the 3rd image to see how this setting can be set. The first two images are out of date and I cannot delete them from this page)

This extension conflicts with the FocusTrack extension in my songbird. Is that due to the same bug as mentioned above?

Is this something you could fix, coz I would really love to see these two extensions working together.

Apparently my swedish localization was involved in that. I just uninstalled the swedish localization pack and now the FocusTrack extension works fine even tho I have Skip Track on Shuffle enabled aswell.

this is a great extension... something that really needs to be incorporated in to the program.

Awesome add-on! Any chance for a 1.1 update (or even better, core integration)?

Hi bx.s,
Thanks for helping out. This is not compatible with songbird 1.1 as yet. Please? :)

Very nice !
But I'm just wondering why couldn't you put a checkbox ? Typing 0 or 1 isn't very user friendly.
Maybe a technical choice, I don't know...

It would be great to use this feature on an iPod.

@julov - It was a textbox when I inherited the extension. I am planning on looking into making a checkbox in the future.
@abo - That is a great idea, although I don't know if it is possible. I will keep it in mind for next time I am hacking on the extension.

I love, love, love this add-on, thanks for taking it over!

It would really be cool if one could make "skip track on shuffle=yes" an option when making a smart playlist (so you could easily keep track of which tracks you've applied this to).

Please update this extension, it adds a lot of value, though it would be even better if you could enhance it, make it more user friendly (aka not on its own tab or typing in numbers), maybe even have a checkbox on the tracks in the library, similar to iTunes.

I have updated the plugin so you can use it on 1.2. If you don't like setting the track to skip via the metadata editor, you can add the "Skip on Shuffle" column to your library. I'll post a screen shot so you can see what I mean.

I think this addon is a good idea and once upon a time it worked...I have uninstalled then installed it again and changed feathers but still can't find where i can make the song skip or add a column to my library like the above comment...any hints would be helpful thanks.

Right click on the header row of the library grid. (Where it says Title, Artist, Genre, .... etc). I'm not sure if it can be set from anywhere else, so if you are not sure where I mean just right click around your library.

Yes I know where you mean..but 'skip on shuffle' is not on the list like your above screen shot...there is 'last skipped' and 'skip count'. And no where on the edit metadata popup where I can make the track skip.

I am having the same exact problem as Kanejo. "skip on shuffle" doesnt show up as an option.

Not sure if this added info helps but I am using songbird 1.2 and skip track 1.0.3 and the "options" button on the add on is gray and wont work either.

odd. It looks like the plugin interface is not showing up in the currently stable release but it working with the nightly build, sorry. I will have to look into this.

I don't know if anything new has surfaced since the last time this problem was reported 2 months ago, but I'm also having the same issue with this extension, which is sad, because I really want to use it.

When I view the metadata for a song, there is no tab or form field that allows me to change the value for the skip, and the only column header available to add to the list view is "Skip Count". Any ideas on when/how this might be fixed? I'm also running Songbird 1.2 (Build 1146) and Skip Track on Shuffle 1.0.3. Thanks in advance for anything you can offer!

P.S. Is there any way to build in marking multiple tracks for skip? Or, does it already do that?
