This is standard for RuneAudio. See here for instructions: http://www.runeaudio.com/documentation/
Random play (plays random tracks from your collection, starts automatically) and Auto play (plays the current playlist automatically) are the options you need. These are on the Setting menu page. But not in the standard version.
In this version Auto play is working, not sure about Random play: #44341
In this version Random play works, not sure about Auto play: #502522
A new version will be released shortly which is fully tested for Random and Auto play, but you will need to wait for this.

Hi ThorRaspberry,
RuneAudio is completely self-contained. Just download the image, copy it to a SD-card, plug it in and switch it on.

Hello again.. Im running complete runeaudio now. I plug the usb it says usb connected but if i dont add the music to library doesnt auto-play.. i need to make when i put the usb with songs inside to start play auto without press anything. is this possible? i dont know how to setup for this.

HI ThorRaspberry,
Don't know what you need, here is how it works:

Auto Play: Automatically plays what is in the queue
Random Play: When the last song in the queue has finished or the queue is empty, adds one song randomly from the library to the queue and plays it

Not sure if both options will work together in the Rune version which you are using.

I have songs on my usb stick right? now put the power supply on raspbery so rasperry starts and running runeaudio.. so now i plug the usb stick but nothing happened.. says update but nothing happened. Must add manual on queue and hit play for start playing audio. That of i need is plug power supply- plug usb sitck-play mustic without press anything. Is this possible?

Hi ThorRaspberry,
See earlier in the thread:

Random play (plays random tracks from your collection, starts automatically) and Auto play (plays the current playlist automatically) are the options you need. These are on the MPD menu page. But not in the standard version.
In this version Auto play is working, not sure about Random play: runeaudio-0-4-beta-for-raspberry-pi2-3-t4434.html#p19960
In this version Random play works, not sure about Auto play: runeaudio-0-3-beta-for-raspberry-pi-t502-520.html#p23625

Looks like you need random play switched on. You find the control for this in the MPD menu.
