Random song selection for all songs.

[startxkdm]

A friend and I would like to be able to select a random song to play in the root folder of your music.

We have multiple folders of songs and random only works in each sub-folder of our music directories. The option to play random from the root directory would be really nice!

I'm for this idea as well!

OK, this seems fine. I'll add it to my list.

Thanks

Sounds like a very nice feature. I was wondering about it myself at some point.

How about also random setlists? If we can randomize 1 song, how about a setlist of 3 random songs? Or 5? Or mix and match if possible. One song choice, then a random, then a choice.

Easiest way I see it is to have a "dummy" song/option at the top of every songlist that says "Random" which chooses a random song in the folder its in and every folder inside that one (or just that folder if its easiest) - that way, when you choose "setlist" you can just choose "random song" 10 times to get a setlist of 10 random songs, or choose a song, pick "random song" choose a song etc for some random songs thrown in with your selected ones in the setlist.

Just throwing out ideas.

As long as a randomly picked song wouldn't be allowed to be a song that's already in the set list, that sounds like a useful idea.

I like where this tread is going. =)

going in the direction of requesting things u can already do?

Might also want to consider programming it so it won't play the same song under random till all songs have been played/game is restarted.

PS keeps playing the same song every other song. o.O
