Subject: (Part Two) I'm Going Loopy Trying To Loop and Shuffle My Songs...

I have a small console that I made by embedding several RealAudio
components into a web page using the AX controls for Dreamweaver.  The
console will eventually play a large number of songs.  It is important
that it loop continuously and shuffle the playlist.  I've studied the
Real Production Guide and have tried everything I can think of but I
can't get the songs to loop and shuffle without errors.  Here is what
I've tried and the problems I've encountered:

#1.  I added a "SHUFFLE" parameter to the console.  The songs shuffled
just fine.

#2.  Then I added a "LOOP" parameter to the console, the songs shuffled
and repeated, but the RealText info that is displayed in the console did
not appear after the first cycle.

#3.  I deleted the "LOOP" parameter and added repeat="99" to the first
<seq> in my .smi file. <seq repeat="99">  The songs repeated and the
RealText displayed in every cycle.  However, the songs did not shuffle
even though I still had the "SHUFFLE" parameter in my console.

#4.  I made a separate .smi file for each song, then made a .ram file
pointing to each .smi file.  When the console opened the .ram file, it
played the first .smi, then stopped.

I could not find any mention of a "shuffle" command that I could use in
my .smi file.  Would some kind soul please tell me how I can loop &
shuffle my songs?  Here is the URL of my console.  It is currently set
to configuration #2.
