For me, random songs. For background listening this mixes it up quite a bit. The real control is in the genre selection. I have very little use for random artists. No sense in queueing up all 20 Van Morrison albums or even the 3 Megadeth. That's _way_ more Megadeth than I can take in one sitting and it would take too much skipping to make listening like this useful. Random albums is better, but for casual background listening I'd seldom want to listen to whole albums. If I'm going to listen to 45-60 minutes of a single album then I'd just as soon pick one out myself. Again, it would take a lot of skipping to make this useful for me. If you could easily skip albums instead of tracks, then it would be better. Random years can be fun, and is 2nd on my list of preferences. Unlike artists and albums, it mixes songs by different artists. The trouble with it is that it can easily hit on a year with just one or very few albums, and then you're not much better off than with the random album or artist mixes. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50180 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
