It comes up all the time I am going thru a jukebox directory (in this case 15 Beatles songs) and I get interrupted to do a different request. Now I want to go back to the middle of the Beatles jukebox list and want to play from where I left off thru the end and currently I cannot easily do this. Please implement as a easy new feature! Also it would be very useful to me to be able to globally mute a specific instrument for all the songs/the duration till I turn back on (example bass when I have a live bass player for the evening or sitting in for a couple of songs). Small items but would be so useful to me and possibly others who perform with different musicians on different nights. Thanks, Tom Laskey

Biab would need to use the the system audio so you can get the VU Level, so when no VU it will load next song, or move to next song with hotkey or foot switch. It could mute a track by sending the hotkey for that track as long as this is the same instrument track in each song. Muting Tracks Alt+2 Mute all tracks. Alt+3 Mute the Bass track. Alt+4 Mute the Piano track. Alt+5 Mute the Drums track. Alt+6 Mute the Guitar track. Alt+7 Mute the Strings track. Alt+8 Mute the Melody track. Alt+9 Mute the Soloist track. Alt+0 Mute the Thru track.

This uses Windows audio device so set Biab to the windows audio device Browse for Song folder Select songs to play with Ctrl+click or Shift+click Press "Play All Selected" to play Double click in list will play single song It can be polished up, it's just basic at the moment to try. You can set it to automatically open the same folder each time, just need to change a line in the script. Double click Biab Player.ahk to run. You can store scripts in bb\Scripts. The script can be edited with Notepad or other. When the audio stops playing it will load the next song. It will open SGU MGU with .GU but you can set it to open all files types if need be by changing to . or a custom file type list can be made. If there are any issues it's usually just needs longer "Sleep, xxxx" time between actions.

I had to go through the link at the bottom https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak to find it and download it. Otherwise it worked fine after I changed the two drive letters C: in the script to K: (where I have all my Biab files).
