I believe the real key part of what Dan said was: "at this point". Try as you might with the current plugin, you can't select genre. It wasn't worth the effort to create a whole architecture inside a plugin to handle all of that. MusicMagic can do what you want "Right Now" (tm), by using the filter features. They ahve already done the heavy lifting, as it were, to create a mix function with some intelligence. That being said, I'm still liking the idea of accepting a list as input to the plugin, but how that can be implemented is still unknown. I'm going to sit back and see what Dan does with the integration. Then, if something comes to mind that would be a simple (read: quick) fix, then I'll put forth a patch. If I have no clear idea, or it will take too long, I'll simply leave it for another time when there aren't other higher priorities. I can't speak for Dan's plans but looking at the bug list, I'd guess he's fairly overloaded as well. Even if such a feature does come along, I expect MusicMagic will always offer far more control than Random Play. If what you want is truly as simple as "anything that's not books, childrens or classical" then I can say that I certainly plan to try to implement such a thing. -kdf-- NOT a Slim Devices employee _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
