New feature: Indicate selected playback options on the "Options" button

In the next version of SmartPlaylist you will see what special playback options you have set directly on the "Options" button:

In this example the Shuffle mode and the Tempo (formerly "Speed") are set to the default / standard value, so nothing is indicated on the "Options" button (no "S" or "T").
As the repeat mode is set on "Repeat: list", "R" indicates a non-standard setting. "P" indicates that the "Pause after each song" is active.

Where there is not enough space to show these letters, a dice will just indicate how many options are not set to the standard value:

New feature: Pause after each song (play stop queue)

In the next version of SmartPlaylist you will find the new playback option "Pause after each song".

When this option is set, SmartPlaylist will stop (pause) playback once a song has finished playing and the next song will be ready for playback -- just press on it to play ("force touch" ;o).
You have to set this option each time you start SmartPlaylist. If it is set, you will see "P" next to "Options".

Note:

• This feature only works when SmartPlaylist is running in the foreground. It will not work if SmartPlaylist is in the background or if the device is turned off (locked).
• To prevent screen-lock just in SmartPlaylist, you can turn off "Auto-Lock" in Menu > Settings > General options:

New version for iOS 8 / iPad, iPhone 6 plus

The next version of SmartPlaylist will be called v8.0, as it will only support iOS 8.0 or higher. It will support the iPhone 6 plus and eliminate some bugs on the iPad.

SmartPlaylist for iOS 8

Seems like this time I don't have to adapt a lot for SmartPlaylist to work with the new iOS 8. So, the update should be ready soon.
UPDATE: Released as v7.3.2 on 24.09.2014

Hint: Settings for MusicBrowser also determine if pick list can be used

In the settings you can configure which element hierarchy you want to browse in SmartPlaylist's  Music Browser (Menu > Settings, then scroll to the bottom to "MusicBrowser: Show / hide:").

At the moment these settings are also applied in the rule details for Composer, Grouping, Artist, Album and Title. So, if you have deactivated Composer and Grouping as in the example above, you will not be able to pick a composer or a grouping in the details for the Composer rule or Grouping rule, respectively, as the list will be empty.

So, at the moment (SmartPlaylist v7.3.1) you have to activate all levels in the Music Browser in order to use all the pick lists for Composer, Grouping, Artist, Album and Title.
(This was done to minimise waiting time to build the pick lists. But the new iPhones / iPads are now so fast that this is not required anymore.)

In the next version of SmartPlaylist this will no longer be necessary and you can configure the Music Browser as you want and still be able to pick Composer, Grouping, Artist, Album and Title.
