Basically we > could take a wild guess that the user is attempting to "just play literally > any music!" when they do this. That's a good idea, yes! It would then need to be sufficiently obvious that that is how they suddenly ended up with a playlist they seem unable to empty... but yes, definitely sounds like a good idea :) > How do you envision that set of random tracks would be chosen? from the > entire library, or from the tracks in the current view? From the entire library, unless it's told something else... which i guess we could argue might well be the current view. Perhaps there could be a banner in the playlist view (which also makes it obvious that that mode is on), and gives some options specific to it, such as a button to make the current view the new source for music, and a "turn off autofill" button? Incidentally this would be not entirely dissimilar to how Amarok's dynamic playlists worked (though perhaps we don't need... quite that much crazy power ;) ) > Seems like we would also want the shuffle feature to actually visually > shuffle the tracks in the global playlist, rather than leaving them in the > original order in the list but choosing a random one every time a track > finishes. Yeah, shuffling has some very distinct semantics compared to random selection, would be great to keep those intact :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
