The way I do it is by actually reloading it through the socket before it starts... I have a crontab doing: echo -e "mylist.reload\r\nquit\r\n" | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:radio.sock 10 minutes or so before the playlist starts. Might be a bit ugly, but combined with check_next, it's an easy way to have something random (and updated) while avoiding repetitions!
