Hey guys, when relaxing hanging out I wish to do 2 things, one, for certain playlists I would simply like to have the songs played in shuffle mode with crossfading and two for other playlists have VDJ autobeatmatch the tunes which I have set in order of bpm's, I just tried the shuffle mode but it only plays one song then stops, how can i fix that and also how do i do the autobeatmatch please?

Hope you understand my bad english, so lets go.
When you set a playlist and start the automix, the tracks will be played in line from the beggining to the end of the playlist. The only way to stop that is deactivating the automix, what can be done by the button with a "lightning bolt" icon on the top left side of the automix pannel.
Be sure to only press the automix button when you have to start or stop the playlist and after when you have done all definitions on automix options, wich is the button under the automix start/stop.
The shuffle option "shuffles" the content of the playlist. It is not a "mode". It does not have any relation with transitions or beatmatching. After shuffling, the songs will be played in line according the automix type you selected. Example: if you load a playlist with 10 songs in sequence 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10, after shuffling the sequence of your playlist will looks like 5-2-6-8-9-10-1-3-7-4. If you shuffle the playlist after start the automix, the song wich is playing on the deck may be reordered on the sequence, so the line will continue after that song - and many songs of the playlist will be lost. Of course, you can click and drag the song to the top of the playlist and fix it.
If you want to play the tracks without beatmatching, you can change the automix type. On "smart" type the automix points (entry and exit) will be set automatically and the transmition will be made with beatmatching, and the time according the automix lenght. On "none" type the tracks will be played one after the other, on back-to-back.
If you want to order your playlist by BPM, all you have to do is insert the BPM column on automix playlist pannel and sort it. Right-click on any column title and select the BPM field, after that you can sort the playlist clicking on BPM title column. And be sure to start the automix by the first track of the playlist, selecting it.
When I have to play tracks without beatmatching, I choose the "fade (remove silence)" option, because there always will be a song with a silence lack on the beggining or the end.
I warn you to read the VirtualDJ user guide, all those things are clearly explained on it.

You're welcome, feel free to ask. Thats why the forum was made for.
About the english, I believe there are some wrong things once my text is a literal translation from portuguese wich is my home language. There are so many "english teachers" here, and it makes me feel a little unconfortable to write, so thats why my posts always have the same entry sentence - "sorry about my english".

I was looking for the lightning bolt. I don't see it. I have not used this software live at a show yet. Waiting to get more comfortale using it. Most of the features work like PCDJ.

The automix buttons (including the start automix button with the "lightinig bolt" icon) are under the playlist panel, wich is hidden on the right side of the browser. You can open the panel positioning the mouse arrow over PLAYLIST and the window automatically expands. To keep the window open, click on the lock at the lower left corner of the playlist panel.
