I can go to advanced search and search for songs based on modified date
and then play "all songs" on shuffle. That's the desired effect.

I'll try issuing the CLI command and see how that works for me. After
that, new genres being checked by default should be ok. I wish there was

So, the default "Song mix" that appears in DSTM is distinct from any

It looks like maybe checking -no- genres is the same as checking them

When I go to the player's settings for "Don't Stop The Music" and change

Also, I have a 6:00AM alarm that plays random songs. All through the

The basic idea is if I add a song to a particular playlist, that song
