you might want to look at erland's dynamic playlist plugin. I often listen to random play as well from subsets containing thousands of files (sometimes tens of thousands). But with dynamic playlists combined with SQL playlists, I can create random mixes from these large sources but only 10 songs at a time are added to the playlist (and this can keep going on forever). This way the SB or LMS doesn't choke with massive playlists (which can also be a problem you might be seeing with LMS). And I agree, LMS is good for many things, but it could always be better! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97721 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
