David Baelde commented on LS-542:
---------------------------------
Your experiment is quite convincing. I simplified it it a little bit (only
works with a directory containing files with different track numbers, such as a
cleanly ripped album):
$ cat random.liq
set("log.file",false)
source = playlist(id="src","~/media/audio/albums/The Bad Plus - Prog")
output.dummy(fallible=true,
on_track(fun(m)-> begin
print("#{m['tracknumber']}")
shutdown()
end,source))
$ cat random.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
for (0..100) {
$count{int(`./src/liquidsoap random.liq`)}++ ;
}
for (sort { $a <=> $b } (keys %count)) {
print "$_ $count{$_}\n" ;
}
The liq script prints the first tracknumber and exits, the perl script runs it
a hundred times and reports how many times each track number was obtained. A
typical output is:
1 24
2 3
3 12
4 11
5 11
6 6
7 11
8 2
9 11
10 10
Interesting problem...

> I use "playlist(directory)" for testing, and by default the mode is
> randomize. The starting song is "random", but I got many times the same song
> as first song, too many times for me to believe in randomness (the directory
> is my mp3 library which is fairly large...).
