While it may not be helpful, here is what Ai suggests...
While the software allows for adding requested songs and playing them, it seems to be resetting to the beginning of the playlist after each manual intervention. Here's an explanation of the behavior you're observing and some potential solutions:
Auto Play Behavior:
When auto play is enabled in Zulu, it's designed to automatically load, play, and mix music for you. However, the software may be interpreting manual interventions (like adding a request or stopping auto play) as a signal to reset the playlist.
Playlist Order:
The auto play feature in Zulu can be set to play tracks in order or in shuffle mode6. It's possible that your settings are causing it to restart from the first track (#1) each time you make a change.
Potential Solutions:
Check your Auto Play settings: Ensure that the shuffle mode is not accidentally enabled if you want tracks to play in order.
Feed To Column: Zulu has an option to restrict which deck a track can be loaded to in Auto Play mode. Check if this setting is affecting your playback order.
Playlist Management: Try creating a specific playlist for your session, including your requested songs in the desired order, rather than relying solely on the auto play feature.
Software Limitations:
It's possible that this behavior is a limitation of the current version of Zulu. If the issue persists after checking your settings, you may want to contact NCH Software support for further assistance or to report the bug.

To improve your experience, you could try using a combination of manual control and auto play. For example, you could disable auto play when adding requests, manually arrange your playlist order, and then re-enable auto play to continue from where you left off.
