When I did wedding receptions on a CD player, I burnt all the music I needed for intros, spotlight dances, etc onto a custom CD in the order I needed to play them in. That way I could just use the "next track" button to go from one to the other. I can't seem to find a duplicate way to do this with VDJ Basic.
The closest I have found is that I can create a virtual folder with all the songs I need and move them to the auto-play list. However, I can only advance from one song to the next on the same player if I have automix on and the player is active. Otherwise, it will just load the clicked on song to the other player. This is not what I want. I don't want the song to fade. I want the currently playing song to stop and the next song to load on the same deck (but not play).
I don't want to switch decks because I use an external mixer. I basically want to minimize mouse travel and hand movements on the mixer. I assume if I used a hardware controller, I could make a custom button function to do what I want. However, I haven't yet found a controller I like.

CD-Next-track simulation.
Create some playlists or Virtual Folders and load them to Playlist Window.
If you want deck 2 for example to be your CD player, map a keyboard button as ..
browser_window "playlist" & deck 2 playlist_load_and_remove & play
You can also simulate deck 1 to be another CDplayer and handle (load) songs from sidelist.
create another shortcut for deck 1
browser_window "sidelist" & deck 1 sidelist_load_and_remove & play
This is the most obvious way i can find.

Thanks. I'll try it and see how it goes.

I can work with this for now. Now if I can always guarantee that certain virtual playlists will always play in a particular order.

Playlists will show up and play always in the order you have primary created.
