Option to Keep Deck Playing on Track Load

[na]

This is a feature request for the option to allow new track loads on a deck to auto play, (or keep the deck playing, however you want to interpret this).

So for example:
1) Deck 1 is playing a track
2) Load new track to Deck 1 while playing
3) New track auto starts/plays because deck was already in "play mode"

I think this behavior is normal in Serato.

I don't think this would be a good idea. This would make it very easy to accidentally play something you don't want to.

If someone can confirm this is default behaviour in Serato (and users like it) we can add that option. (someone has do it though :)

Preferences > Decks already has three options related to track load/clone. Those and this fourth option could go into a Track Load section.

Cool, thanks.

On Song Load -> Play from start
"...freshly loaded tracks will continue to play from the point the last track was at. This option is on by default."

I would love for this option because it's annoying to keep having to click/press play after loading a track. In almost all cases, I want the deck (deck A) to just keep playing so I can just hit cue points to lineup with the other track (deck B that's currently on with volume up).

granted, as ronso0 mentioned, it's not desirable for everyone at all times. But it's an option that's on by default in Serato, and it's something I'm used to having.
