Sorry, but I can't relate. That's not my experience. However, I don't
have much recent experience with Random Mix, since I usually use Dynamic
Playlist. Things may have changed since I last used it regularly.

Are you saying that you start a random mix and it keeps playing the same
artists and tracks? Or are you saying that every time you start a random
mix it plays the same artists and tracks as the last time?

If you're using a Library View, how big is the one that Random Mix uses?
It's not likely, but is it possible you have it pointing to a very small
Library View that contains only the artists and tracks you're hearing?



LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players,
occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.
