Opps, forgot a couple of things.
It will not be exact, because of the +/- margin and t doesn't take into
account segues in the songs or sweepers so if you want it to always be
long I would
add a variable of minusMargin and make it 0.
Then change the 2 select lines that get the songs.
Change this: GROUP_NAME in ({2}) order by Rand() limit
1".format((secLeft-margin), (secLeft+margin), musicGroups))
To This: GROUP_NAME in ({2}) order by Rand() limit
1".format((secLeft-minusMargin), (secLeft+margin), musicGroups))
Hope that helps and doesn't confuse anyone too much
