How can I randomly play all my music files without my podcasts?

[tubbyama]

I would like to keep my podcasts from beeing played when I am skiing.  Is there a way to shuffle and play all but my one podcast folder?  Thanks.

One way would be to put all of your music into a folder called "Music" and all of your podcasts into a folder called "Podcasts."  Create a playlist of the music folder (be sure that the "Recusively insert folders" setting is turned on) and then shuffle the playlist.

Got it, thanks.

Also, if you use the random folder advance plugin, which allows for random play by folder, you can permanently except out folders, such as your Podcasts folder(s).
