random play??
 

Has anyone asked for a Random play button? I like to listen to my music collection alot and it's to get a ramdom play back rather than in order. I'm new to this program so forgive me if i'v not found the real button or option if it does exsist already :P Thanks.

Depending on the skin you're using, you may see a text like "Repeat off".
If you click on this text repeatedly, you cycle through the options, one of which is "random"
:wink:

:D thank you, doh, so simple yet so hidden ;) mucho happy now :D

In version 0.9x, there was a random option in the playlist window: where has it gone ? ;)

I prefer it over the Random option of certain skins...

Playlist's random option is re-introduced by bst in his to-day's release of build 810 (Version 1.00 final release)
:wink:

The random function looks like it is pretty buggy though, atleast if I compare to Winamp. If I'm using the random-function, it also randomizes the file when clicking "previous". Winamp builds an internal randomized playlist and does not randomize on the fly when clicking previous/next.

Sure it is _random_, but it would be nice to see a "shuffle"-function (like in Winamp) as well.

Example: Let's say I have 200 musicvideos in the playlist, and I'm using random. I click next a couple of times and find a file I want to listen to, but I accidentaly click next again. Clicking previous won't return to the file played before, and if one doesn't know what artist it was, then it's a pretty loss.

Just my $0.02.
