You've got me thinking now. I'd never thought of Random Mix being used as a jukebox i.e. you add songs and it plays them but, if it runs out of songs, it chooses songs at random. It doesn't work this way at present as there is always at least one random item at the end of the playlist. Unless you only ever wanted to choose one song at a a time, you couldn't add your new songs in before the random item and still keep the order in which you added them. Random Mix currently checks to see if it should add new items at the start of each track. In order to work like a jukebox it would have to do this at the end of a track. However, if you just want to listen to a random mix you wouldn't want this as it would mean you got pauses in the playlist while new tracks are added.
Would anyone be interested in this jukebox functionality? I'd consider adding it as an option (post 6.2!), although it could turn out to need a surprising lot of work. Max PS RandomPlay and Random Mix are the same thing, in case I've confused anyone. kdf Wrote: > Try having a look at the RandomPlay plugin (currently available with > the > 6.2 nightly builds).
