Bug Description
We should support adding a playlist to the Auto-DJ queue. This could happen via right-click on the playlist or something similar.

Hi Olyn,
Wow thanks for the report. I'm sorry that Mixxx is breaking in so many ways for you. We are all volunteers who are trying very hard to make good software, but sometimes bugs do happen.
Let's see if we can tease apart all the problems you were having into discrete bugs. First of all, which version of 1.8.0 are you using? beta1 or beta2?
1) Drag and Drop Brokenness
If it's beta1, basically I know what's wrong -- drag and drop is mostly broken in beta1. That problem should be fixed in beta2. (Albert correct me if I'm wrong) but it may be broken on Windows 7 specifically. Not many of our developers use Windows.
2) 1.7.2 fails to place song title or filename on your songs.
What file format are they? mp3? ogg? I assume they all have their metadata written to the files. If you wouldn't mind, could you please post one of the files that you can reproduce the problem on and we'll take a look.
3) No 'Add to Auto-DJ Queue' context menu option.
This is a good idea, we should add this maybe before we release 1.8.0 final. Albert, thoughts? A separate wishlist bug should be made for this.
4) Cannot drag a playlist into the Auto-DJ Queue
We've been asked to add this before, but I think there is some problem we had or maybe we just haven't had time to get to it. A separate wishlist bug should be made for this.
5) Cannot play a playlist.
We actually do not really support playing a playlist, as this isn't really a music player software, it's DJ software. Playlists are for helping a DJ organize music from a general pool of music (e.g. a crate in 1.8.0) into a logical ordered list of songs to play during a performance. He or she can then load songs from the playlist and mix them together.
6) Record Mix feature does not work
Which format do you select for recording? In 1.8, you can check by going to Preferences > Recording. Make sure that 'WAV' is selected. Albert/Sean perhaps libsndfile is broken in 1.8 on windows?
Best regards,
RJ
