I would completely agree except that this progression of (not necessarily in this order) Anthrax, Alice In Chains, Blind Melon, Aerosmith, Aretha Franklin, Badlands, Billy Joel always comes up in all mixes within the first 5 songs. I mean I do agree and enjoy a slight variation (which is why I have my variation setting at 2) but not within 5 songs! I'm thinking it should take more like 100 songs for it to go from Anthrax to Aretha Franklin. Otherwise if all I wanted to listen to was metal, I certainly would not go through this hassle and just use my NAS' built-in audio application and have it pick random tracks from any given genre. To me, that's not what this is about, though. I do want it to go from Meshuggah to Pink Floyd to Miles Davis and back up to A Perfect Circle to AC/DC to Pantera etc. Isn't it this exact thing what the "variety" setting is supposed to be controlling?
Again, I'm so incredibly frustrated with this thing. I pretty much spend most of my disposable time trobleshooting this thing. It's become an unhealthy obsession! To make matters worse, I'm in the computer industry myself and can usually fix things like this with relative ease (hell you can almost perform heart surgery these days with instructions found by simply properly searching Google). :) Anyway, I'm now going to give Erland's above suggestion a try and see where that takes me. What took me over the edge today was that it worked flawlessly when I was testing it for a few hours. I started with all kinds of genres and let it go for 15, 20 tracks and it was just perfect! LOL I don't know why but the whole thing took a dump just as I was typing a "thank you" message to you and Erland and wanted to show it off by taking a screenshot and posting it here! :) And about Metallica, they're the band that got me into metal in the first place back when I was 13 so I can't help but have a soft spot for them. Though I do (unfortunately) agree that Metallica after Cliff Burton was never the same again. :( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Morbeas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53547 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73988 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
