I don't think the new algorithm works as expected. Every time I start random mix it starts with 5-6 Grateful Dead songs. Sure there is a lot of Dead in my library, but I sure prefer the old more random mix, it seemed to be much more random. Now the mix starts always with Dead and pretty much always contains same three or four artists out of over 8000 artists in my music library. Could choosing the algorithm be an option? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lemppari's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1775 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114928 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
