The current method of creating a random mix works fairly well, but it falls short in two ways:
1. I'd like to be able to exclude specific songs or albums by giving them an additional genre (my library is in FLAC). For example, Steve Earle's "Just An American Boy" has several tracks of him talking to the audience between songs, which make no sense in random mode, but I still want those tracks to have the same genre as the rest of the CD. If I gave those tracks a secondary genre (e.g. "NoRandom"), I'd then like to be able to exclude them; however, this isn't possible with the current design. Likewise, my wife would rather not hear any Steely Dan, so it would be nice to have a convenient way of excluding them without bastardizing the primary genre. 2. I think Random Mix would be improved if it were possible to save profiles of different mixes for quick recall. This isn't especially useful with the current including-genres design, but it becomes more so if the enhanced selection I've described above were implemented. Ideally, these mix profiles could be included in the "Now Playing" menu. -- dbls ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dbls's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=296 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40612 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
