[slim] random mix by single artist? or single album?

2009-01-21 Thread sotwell

I have the Duet.  How do you do a random mix by a particular artist? 
For example, I have 10 U2 albums.  How do I set the Duet to random play
all songs across all my U2 albums only?

Also, is there a way to play random tracks from just one particular
album?  Say I only want to hear Joshua Tree in random order?

Thanks!

Turn on shuffle by song and load 'em all into the playlist.

is there not an easier way?  I have to manually load all songs into the
playlist and hit random?

It's not so hard as it might seem. You can hit 'Play' on the artist name to
do it.

If it were a setting in the random mix stuff, you'd just have to go and
select the artist afterwards anyway, so it's not like it'd save you much.

Just scroll by artist, find U2, hit play and make sure shuffle is on.
Piece of cake

OK - dumb question, but is shuffle different from random?  Is there a
shuffle button?

Random/Shuffle, same thing. I have the SB remote and there is a shuffle
button, it is a toggle, shuffle by album/shuffle by song/no shuffle. I
assume the Duet has the same thing. Just give it a try.

No, unfortunately the Duet does not have a shuffle button (and neither
does the Boom or the Boom remote). Using the Duet you have to go to
Settings, then select type of Shuffle. If you use Shuffle a lot you can
set the Home Menu so it has the Shuffle item on the top menu level.

One of my gripes with the Controller. I wish there were more buttons,
preferable user configurable ones.
