Strange. >Do I understand you correctly that you like to play all the songs that >matched the search in random order ? > Yes - but not a frequent thing I would like to do. eg. If I do a keyword search in lazy search to get back albums, artists or songs containing the search string, I was thinking I could go to "All Songs" and call up some song-context mixers. However, there isn't such a menu, so that is probably a non-starter :( However, I can find artists containg "Zion" to get a list of all varieties of "A Silver Mt. Zion", "A Silver Mount Zion", "Thee Silver Mt. Zion and Tra-la Band", etc, all of which are essentially the same band. There is then an "All Artists" menu option, but no mixers. In fact, I think all I can do here is press play (there's no menu options, or in fact no note icon to show that play is an option - I should report that to the Lazy Search author). >Not just select an item in the search result and play that item in >random order, for example an artist ? > Now I have configured the Dynamic Playlists for artist context, I can do this. This would be my normal usage. >Is the main idea that you like functionality to remember a search >result so you can use it at a later time ? > Not really - I just wanted to search for something and play random songs from the result set. I can play all results, save the static playlist temporarily, and then I guess it is possible to play random songs from a chosen playlist? Afterwards, delete the playlist. The only side issue is that squeezecenter seems really slow to respond with a large list of songs in the current playlist, so if there is a large set of search results, it's not ideal.
