Randomize Option

[Skyla]

Hi, after the newest update I have notice that I can no longer 'Randomize' my playlist, has this option been completely removed or has it been moved somewhere else in the options?

I found this really handy for playing large playlists, so I didn't find myself listening to the same artist/artists for 3 or 4 songs in a row before another artist played. If this option has been removed, can I suggest it gets re-added asap. Thanks.

In this version clicking the "shuffle" button at the bottom right of the player should randomize your list, and then play them in the new random order as displayed. It will normally only randomise the unplayed tracks, so best to set the current playing track to the top of the list before you shuffle.

You can also manually move tracks up or down in this ordered Playing list as well. If you have a playing list randomised and sorted to your satisfaction, and you would like to be able to return to it, you can thern save it as a new playlist.

Thanks for the reply, i'll give it a try.

But why this change? I definitely prefer the original way that was done. (OK, I'm getting old and have become disillusioned with change.)

One benefit is you can see what is coming up after current track because it displays the randomized order.

Also next and previous works which it could not before

I tried it, but actually it does not work as before. It mixes stuff, but keeps tracks from CDs together. In the earlier versions, all tracks were mixed independently. Maybe I overlook something, some option somewhere?

One more observation: It doesn't really randomize, but it sorts things chronological: New music on top, older music at the bottom of the list. This is wierd.

Actually, it doesn't ... the playing list stays the same. I tried it in several ways:

Empty list, Randomize On, Copy files into playing list --- they stay in the same order
Empty list, Randomize Off, Copy files into playing list (same order), turnig Randomize On --- order is not changed

What do I overlook here?
