It is time to look at VLC RANDOM Play feature

Postby c627627 » 14 Jul 2022 22:39

Add a folder to VLC Playlist... and if that folder has 10 subfolders. And each of those 10 subfolders has 30 subfolders. And each of those hundreds of folders has 20 songs in each of them. Now turn on RANDOM play.

Statistically the played songs would be from all over, each song from a (very) different location, different subfolders.
But what happens in reality is that played songs are often from the same subfolders, it's not jumping to *very* different locations with each played song, as it statistically should.

So the RANDOM feature of VLC Player should be looked at, based on real-life experience test ....

PLUS same songs are played more than once...that's not real Random Play.
