Hey Gonzo,
Part of the reason for this feature is because of the statistics feature. The thought was to let the user decide when a song should be considered played and become part of the statistics. If you aren't familiar with this, it is located by selecting "File" in the upper left corner. It gives users a multitude of choices to establish all kinds of stats which may help run future shows. Back to the time counter you are speaking of, it is thought that if you get to the point where a max of 60 seconds are left in the song it should be considered for those stats. I have mine set for 20. If you were to abort it just 30 seconds into a song as your example the song would be counted in these stats. I think most feel that is way to soon. The way it is, if you abort it with more than 60 seconds left it should not be counted as played and giving false stats. If you don't agree with this I guess you could ask for the time to be extended. Hope this explains things. I personally never use "auto" when using the "rotation" for several reasons but that is just me.
