Thanks, Michael. I'm not sure how this sorted itself out, but it did. If there is a recurrence of this issue, I'lltry deleting that prefs file. The mention of DSTM was that in DSTM there are two, similar-looking options; "Random songs" and "Song mix". While Random Songs was broken, "Song Mix" in DSTM worked to properly (apparently) use tracks from all genres. So I could trigger a true random mix by choosing that DSTM option, selecting a track to play manually, and then let DSTM take over. If I chose the "Random songs" option in DSTM, it would play only tracks from the small subset of the library. I would be interested to understand the distinction between the two DSTM options...but it's an academic interest, not a practical one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111435 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
