But normally it will remove a song once it has been played and add another one at the playlist's end. It therefore will play forever. > How is this > better than the current random functionality?

Plugins add functionality that everybody doesn't need. Disable it and gain some free memory, remove complexity and possible source of problems. I never had any issue with iTunes or MusicMagic integration. They can be as buggy as they wont to be, I don't (have to) care - because I don't use those plugins ;-). -- Michael ----------------------------------------------------------- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
