Hi David
The words "random" and "randomize" are ok. The main thing is to provide
a better command help. The command help is clear, but a little confuse
for all of us that don't know caml language and expression languages.
I think you can improve the help adding an extra fiel for each command
help, named "Example" or "Examples" of how to use in a real world the
command.
For instante, the help command:
* mode : string (default "randomize")
Play the files in the playlist either in the order ("normal" mode), or
shuffle the playlist each time it is loaded, and play it in this order for a
whole round ("randomize" mode), or pick a random file in the playlist each time
("random" mode).
Can be more helpful if you added a real world example, like this:
-----------------------------------------------
example 1: You want to shufle all the songs without repeated each round
from the playlist, use "randomizer"
myplaylist =
playlist(mode="randomize",reload=1,reload_mode="rounds","/opt/Musica/Tangos")
example 2: If you want to pick one by one the songs in a random mode.
Note: In this mode you can get a repeated song, because the random
algorith pick files one by one each time they will be played.
myplaylist =
playlist(mode="random",reload=1,reload_mode="rounds","/opt/Musica/Tangos")
example 3: You want to play in order ......
-----------------------------------------------
If you can add the extra field for examples for each command, then the
requests for help in the mail list will be lowered.
Thanks
