It wasn't my intention to kill the topic! I think there are lots of options that could make sense. For instance: do not repeat artist, album or song title within X entries. I also think options for weighted random play could be useful. Here's what I mean: suppose my library included 600 Western Swing tracks, 300 Chicago Blues tracks, and 100 Be-bop tracks. But I want a random playlist that's 75% Chicago Blues, 15% Be-bop, and 10% Western Swing. But yes, I hope there will always be an option for random to be as random as possible! It does sometimes defy expectations, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS.
