That's very strange. I've never heard of anyone having a problem like this. By default, Random Mix will select ten songs from your library (as filtered by the genre filter) and either add them to the end of your playlist, or replace your playlist with them, depending on whether you selected Add or Play. What happens next depends on the mix you selected:
Random Song Mix: Every time a track ends, it will add another song to the end of the playlist. Random Artist/Album/Year Mix: Every time the last track of the current artist/album/year starts, a new artist/album/year will be added to the end of the playlist. The first time you start the mix, if an artist/album/year is picked that only contains one track, another one will be added to the end. Old songs will either be cleared or kept in the playlist depending on your settings. You can chose how many upcoming songs to maintain in random song mix. The default is 10, including the current one. This setting has no effect in artist/album/year mixes. Where's your 17 songs coming from? Have you set this in the Number of Upcoming Songs setting? What type of mix are you playing? The behaviour that you've said you'd like is exactly how Random Mix is meant to work. However, it doesn't (yet) prevent tracks being played more than once, so the mix will continue ad infinitum. Max ctviggen Wrote: > I totally do not understand Random Mix.
