Auto Enqueue options

The Auto Enqueue feature in Helium Music Manager is able to define how the replaying of songs from the Play Queue works. It's possible to automatically enqueue new tracks at the end of the Play Queue to ensure that your music keeps playing.

Using the Auto Enqueue function

The Auto Enqueue function is by default set to Stop when the Play Queue reaches the end. Show the Auto Enqueue configuration dialog using any of the methods below:

Hover the mouse over Auto Enqueue button in the Internal Player user interface and select Configure Auto Enqueue... option from the hover menu.
Right click in the Play Queue and select Play Queue tools > Configure Auto Enqueue... from the context menu.

The options available are explained below:

Auto Enqueue Enabled controls whether Auto Enqueue is active or inactive.

This will keep adding a random album to the end of Play Queue, based on the filter criteria set in the Options box.

When using any of the options above that automatically enqueue tracks to the Play Queue (that is all options except Stop and Repeat) there are two additional options available:

Automatically maintain at least [x] upcoming tracks in Play Queue
This option ensures that the number of tracks specified in the [x] spin edit will always be placed ahead of the currently playing song. Each time a new song is played, the Play Queue will be reviewed to see if more tracks need to be added to the end of the list.
Automatically retain at most [x] previous tracks in the Play Queue
This option removes previously played tracks from the Play Queue to keep a clean Play Queue. You can select from the following options in the drop down list:

0 - this will remove all previously played tracks from the Play Queue.
1 - this will retain one previous track in the Play Queue.
2 - this will retain two previous tracks in the Play Queue.
3 - this will retain three previous tracks in the Play Queue.
5 - this will retain five previous tracks in the Play Queue.
10 - this will retain 10 previous tracks in the Play Queuet.
25 - this will retain 25 previous tracks in the Play Queue.
50 - this will retain 50 previous tracks in the Play Queue.
100 - this will retain 100 previous tracks in the Play Queue.
All - this will keep all previous tracks in the Play Queue.
