Overview of Auto-DJ
Auto-DJ feature enables you to play music with little or no interaction with The Hot Mix.  You can setup playlists to play with Auto-DJ or you can keep it randomly grabbing songs from a certain playlist.
 
Using Auto-DJ
Auto-DJ has many features and way to configure how it will operate during playback.  Please read through to become familiar with them.

Assigning an Auto-DJ List - This button is located under the "More" menu.  When you press this button the current visible list becomes the active playlist for Auto-DJ to play song from.  The default when starting up The Hot Mix is the "Auto-DJ List" playlist.

Turning Auto-DJ On - To turn on Auto-DJ simply click the "Auto-DJ" button located directly above the crossfader.  This will bring up another menu where you can choose from turning on to configuring auto-dj.  Select "Turn On" to activate Auto-DJ.  If there is a problem activating Auto-DJ the message center will let you know.

Fade Song At - This value will be the seconds left on the song when Auto-DJ will start the crossfade to the next song.

Play Next Song At - This value is the seconds left in the song playing when Auto-DJ will start playback of the next song.

Crossfade Speed - Select from slow, med or fast to tell Auto-DJ how fast to crossfade between songs.

Pick From - Select from Library, Most Played, or New Songs to tell Auto-DJ that it needs to grab news songs from one of those lists.  This way you can make it only grab songs from your Most Played.  It helps to make sure a song isn't loaded that wouldn't work out for the moment and it will play something that you have played before.

Grab - Select from From the top or Randomly to tell Auto-DJ how to select the next song to play.  You can select from the top and it will only grab the top song in the list when it needs a song.  This way you can setup a playlist and it will play it song after song in your list.  You can also select randomly to have Auto-DJ select songs from the list randomly.

Log Stats - Check this box if you want songs to be recorded as played when Auto-DJ is on.  Un-check it to not have songs recorded as plays when played with Auto-DJ.
