That's correct. He's referring to the pagination. Originally, it was paged by number, like New Music. Which isn't really necessary, since you can easily refresh the page from the link in the breadcrumbs. The problem is that sorting (truly) randomly isn't repeatable, so page 2 and etc. aren't actually pages of the same random sort. I imagine that if you really thought about it (and it was worth the effort), you could come up with a way to make it both random and repeatable, such as saving/passing a randomly generated seed and resetting the seed only when you go back to page one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102000 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
