for some reason (I may have accidentally pushed a button) kodi adds a music file to some sort of invisible playlist instead of playing it right now.

before that it was fine, it also moved automatically to the next file in the directory.

I fail to find any information on how I got there and how I get myself out of this predicament.



on a separate matter: is there a way to disable all that database approach based upon ID3 tags on music files?
most of the metadata is incorrect or absent besides that, there is already a database that organizes my music, it's called a filesystem ;-)

version is 17.6 on debian testing

so typical.. after googling for about an hour, I finally decided to post here and five minutes later, I found the solution myself.

options, player settings, music, second entry: queue on select

edit:
thanks, @Karellen for your fast and helpful answer

Happy that your questions were answered.

A hierchrical file system is a very limited way of organising your music, a relational database is capable of capturing far more diverse data and complex interrelationships than folder naming ever can. Time taken accurately tagging your music files and creating a music library would give you a much richer music browsing and selection experience. The choice is yours of course.
