There is a difference between shuffle and random play .
Shuffle just shuffles the files in the current playlist and will start
over again from the top , or reshuffle the same songs again. Depending
on settings.
Random play can sometimes find the same song but it is less likely if

Hi,
I cannot find the answer on this forum.
When I play a list using shuffle, several songs are played more then
once.
Is there a setting for this?
thanks in advance

Maybe I wasn't clear enough ?
to be more precise:
I'm in shuffle mode and I am listening to music (e.g. a random mix)
I want to hear a specific song in a specific album from a specific
artist
I go in Artist, than choose the album and select a song
When I press play, it won't play that song
I guess that depends on whith user interface you're using. The Touch,
Controller, Radio, Boom or web interface?

When I am playing an album in shuffle mode and when viewing the
playlist, it is impossible to play a song selected in that list.
Selecting a track and pressing play will randomly play a track from
that list. Is this a bug ?

I can no longer shuffle playlists. Pressing the Shuffle button on the

on the shuffle button on the web interface has no effect. I can choose
Shuffle by Song from the Settings-Shuffle submenu but it doesn't
stick.

It was the Spicefly SugarCube plugin. It disables Shuffle. Fortunately,

I would also recommend looking at MusicIP which is supported within
Squeezecenter. It's not random, but produces some great playlists and
is easy to configure different types of mixes (once you have it set up)
- Jagged Mix might work well for you.

I'm aware of the existing functionality of putting my SB2/3 in Shuffle

Random Mix got more random in 6.5.0 and apparently even better in the

Yep. I've used Random, which seems to work better.
The title hopefully says it all. I have a folder - Christmas music - on

playing. Is this a known problem? I have not upgraded the firmware

Couldn't the behaviour of the shuffle button be changed? I would just
