get random music stuff...

[nicolaibvm]

I can see that some of the things I wish for and experience have been requested or commented upon in other threads but the threads have not been answered or it is a long time since there has been any activity or not all my observations are there.

Therefore I have started a new thread. I'm sorry.

1. The random function is not very good at getting random. Often I experience that the same song from the same album (physical folder) is added twice. This is especially if I want random while in offline mode. But it does also happen in online mode.
2. Generally it would be great to set more parameters when searching and randomizing. Setting folders to look into/ NOT look into. Genres to search/NOT search. Artists to search/ NOT search and so on and so forth...
3. Maybe set an option where some sort of statistics will be created/used when randomizing so that the same songs doesn't appear often?
4 The posibility to randomizing starred songs.
5. When a random songlist have played x songs the song before that should be removed and another added using the criterias used to create the playlist and the next time you connect to a WIFI (optional) the added songs should be cached. So random could just run without any user interaction.

I hope some of this can be done. Especially because I use subsonic as a big randomizing system. I create random playlists, cache all the songs and listens to the list and then start over.
