Hi, are you looking for shuffling ?

[peng]

hi,
no and yes, thats what I am talking about
shuffle plays pretty repeatable patterns
try it, have 16 short audiosamples (under 2 sec each) in a playlist and play them in random order
Im hearing not very random patterns if I do that ...


what I wanted to do was testing if these samples fit together, to do so it needs to play all samples randomly, so I can hear what fits in and what doesn't. (so I can hear each sample after any of the other samples from the playlist, without having to create lots of playlist, cause the shuffle is to predictable, it takes forever to hear all combinations )

a more random shuffle would be nice
its not going to be rocket science to tweak this a little.

btw. there is an exception to be excluded:
I guess nobody wants to hear/watch the same file again after it had just been played on shuffle ...

thx for your time again.
