I used to use the side playlist to arrange the evenings music and then drag to a deck, with auto remove when played checked.
Now this works a treat in Automix, but really needs the option in Sidelist. I don't use the Automix feature but do wish to use a Sidelist. Not having an auto remove is a pain as everything has to be deleted manually from the list.

If you don't use automix then just use that section as you playlist.

I can see what he means - I just compared 7 to 8 in this respect.
In 7 you can load tracks into the playlist area (called 'automix' in 8), select "remove when played" and when you drag a track from there to a deck, it removes the track from the list.
In 8 it doesn't. It only removes the track if it's been played by automix (it actually only goes once the next track is playing).

I understand I can use the Automix list, I guess it's just the stigma of having an automix list up on screen and looking like a lame DJ who uses automix all night.
The option to remove on sidelist would be awesome, or to rename the lists.

Pretty sure I read somewhere, that they plan to bring back the drag to delete again.

But he doesn't want to use automix - he wants to mix manually, by dragging the tracks from that area (which used to be called 'playlist').
The issue is that the tracks don't get removed from the list when they're dragged out.

Like I said, I don't use automix, I use a sidelist to line up my ideas, the regular sidelist has no option to remove the tracks automatically when played, the automix list does, and can be used as just a list with automix turned off, however it still says automix. If sidelist had the option too, it would be great.

yep i like also that in VDj 7 .. it will be great that it is included in the 8 as well..it helps you to organize the evening and do not have to spend part of the time deleting songs from the automix or side pannel!

I use version 7 pretty much the same way.
Additionally I use the side list for any requests.
Also in 7 you can add songs from the drive to the playlist
and when loaded/played they are removed.
However in version 8 you cannot add songs from your drive to the playlist.
Would like to see Version 8 have similar feature.

If I understand correctly what you were doing, the "remove when played" which I believe only applies to the Automix feature, is not what was removing the songs from the list in V7. The songs were being removed by the physical act of dragging them out of the list (and onto a deck).
As Jason K mentioned above, the "drag out to remove from list" feature has been discussed on other posts, and to my knowledge, has been submitted as a feature request. If/once completed, that should resolve your issue.
I also miss that feature, as I sometimes drag a song out of the automix queue into another deck to play at a specific time. and don't want it to remain in the automix queue to be played a second time if I forget to right-click remove it.
Yes, I sometimes use the automix queue for kids parties, background music, etc (Hangs Head in Shame) LOL

I see what you mean...that is a bummer. I also use the sidelist to put requests or songs I want to play later and don't want to forget. Not to mention if you are using automix (say for dinner or background music) at the time and also want to start putting requests and other songs together in a list for when the dancing starts, it's not possible. To me; not being able to do this is a major issue.
@SoFla David .... don't worry I do the same thing for dinner music....all pre-programmed.

also the icon of the artwork that appears is far too large, if you are creating a sidelist and trying to pop them in order, the huge icon makes it hard to see where to drop it and you end up having to move it around a few times.

agreed! I had turned off the "show artwork when dragging files" option to alleviate that problem, and now with this latest update, they "fixed" it by showing an icon just as big of a generic musical note.
We need to see exactly where we are dropping a song within a list of other songs.

Using automix list, but not in automix mode, dragging and dropping, songs remain, even though they have a red line and remove when played is checked.

I +2 that, but if you can see your mouse pointer through the artwork then you are placing it right at the tip of your mouse icon. It is a little forgiving but I would rather have a line or something showing you exactly where it is going.

You can remove played tracks from sidelist by going into settings-browser-remove played=Yes. The song will be removed roughly about 45 sec into song being played. It's not instant but it does remove them

Sidelist does not have that option. Automix list does but it's unreliable, especially if automix is off and you drag a track, track stays regardless most times.

+1 I too would prefer the same options available in Sidelist as are available in Automix.

How can you turn off "Show Art Work When Dragging Files"? I have not been able to find it.
