RobbH, I'm a fan of patience, specially where your advice is concerned. I had not done these settings, mainly because I had no idea they were there. So, I did indeed set them, and (I'm loathe to say this, as I've suffered from early optimism before, but...) it does seem to be delivering a good result. Even with the caveats that I've read about in those interesting posts and links above on the psychology and engineering of so-called randomness, still I'm impressed. This does (careful now...) seem to have sorted it for me, for which many thanks. There is a but, though. The only thing not right is that I only get a playlist of ten songs. Plays ten "random" (maybe we ought to call them shuffled?) songs from my defined source, then stops. Does this have anything to do with the "Now Playing will show" bit, or is it another setting somewhere else I don't know about yet? I'd like it to just keep going till I tell it to stop. Anyway, randomly speaking, I'm smiling.
