Specifying the playlist behavior

Below please find two functions that allow you to
"automate" and "customize" certain aspects of your
playlists.
Activating continuous song play-
back
The JM-8 provides a function that lets you specify
whether all songs of the selected playlist should be
played back one after another or whether playback
should stop at the end of each song. This function is on
by default, but performers who rely on the Playlist func-
tionality for their set may want to switch it off.
