I like the idea. I guess that would require some non-trivial code changes. Not sure how much fun scrolling a list with >1000 artists would be though. I think Random Play has something like this for genres. My problem is time. Some changes in my life mean that going forward I will have even less time to spend on LMS/plugins. I'll do my best to keep DPL and the other plugins alive. And if I can't they'll always be on github. BTW since you seem to be very creative with plugins maybe take a look at Craig's '*MusicSimiliarity*' (https://github.com/CDrummond/music-similarity) (and the '*LMS companion plugin*' (https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-musicsimilarity)). It calculates how similar your tracks are to each other. Then you can "get random tracks similar to seed tracks chosen from the current play queue". Very cool stuff! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
