Title: Shuffle options
Post by: Quackula on February 23, 2012, 05:50:09 PM
I was thinking it'd be nice if there was a way to exclude say, tracks less or greater than certain lengths from shuffle mode in the database. That way you wouldn't have to worry about things like intros, podcasts, etc showing up when you don't want to.

Something like a setting to automatically skip tracks shorter than a given length (perhaps the user can choose 15s, 20s, 30s etc) and automatically skip tracks longer than a certain length (10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc) when shuffle is enabled?

Just an idea.

Shuffle will only affect the files in the playlist, so it makes more sense to put together a query for the database that excludes the short/long files however you wish so that there's not more settings bloat in RB.
