My preference is for genuine random, but limited to unique numbers. In other words, random without repeats, until random play is reset or all available tracks have been played. That's the current approach, isn't it? I prefer to have occasional coincidences, like two tracks in a row by the same artist, or two different versions of the same song. After all, when cards are properly shuffled, it still happens on very rare occasions that a player will be dealt a royal flush or some other winning hand. If truly random play were left running indefinitely, eventually (not necessarily in the lifetime of anybody now alive) a Cliff Richard album would play all the way through, in the correct order. So my plea is, Let Random be Random! LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114355 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
