[SlimDevices: Plugins] Getting a genuine random selection of songs
I have a very large and diverse music collection and would like to be able to get a wide variety of tracks in play lists. I am using Trakstat and Dynamic playlists and find that the same artists and songs are being played over again and others totally ignored. I would say that maybe 10 artists are played regularly and if you look at albums it is usually the same one or two tracks. Anyone any tips on how to get a wider selection without setting up play lists manually? Also can the time setting for not recently played be adjusted?

This can all be done without MusicIP and from within Dynamic Playlists. Go to SQL Playlist in SBS and click create new playlist. Then choose advanced (or advanced with ratings if you use ratings). This allows you to ignore recently played songs, select or ignore genres, specify lengths of songs etc. Hopefully you can create your perfect playlist from there.

Thanks for the replies. I have experimented with SQL playlists and this seems to give much better results.
