How to go to currently playing?

Post by DanielAborg »

Hi,

This is probably a really obvious question, but I can't find anything about it in the help files, in the menus or on the forums.

How can I go to the currently playing song in the library? I find it really confusing not to know "where I am" when I'm listening to the music.

Cheers,

Daniel

The very first node in the tree is the "now playing" node. Simply click it or just press the F6 key.

Right click the currently playing song. Choose:
Find More From Same > Folder (Library)

Ok, I can see it but nothing happens when I double-click on it, or when I press F6. It does not scroll to the currently playing song in the library or in the "Now Playing" window. Is it supposed to?

I'm running the latest beta version, MediaMonkey 2.5.1.896, maybe it's a bug?

Thanks for your help,

Daniel

Actually, that will just show me more songs in the same folder. What I want is to remain in the library view I have open and scroll to the currently playing song in that view.

Ok, that works the first time I try it, but if I then scroll away and click on it again, nothing happens!

Is this a bug or an intended feature?

Thank you for your help!

Cool, that worked! I don't really understand why, but it works, and that's cool!

Thanks a lot,

Hmm... that doesn't work for me - it takes me back to wherever I was last looking in the library... any other suggestions?

This is so annoying,

I just want to jump to the currently playing file, I have a gigantic list of files and I have to scroll all the way trying to identify the one that shows in different color, there should be an easier way. What section needs to be active for the F6 F7 way to work? nothing happens when I press them.

Thank you,
