playlist generator

(1/12) > >>

Zardoz:
I'd like to be able to generate a 'random' playlist of a set number of files from a set number of directories.

GodEater:
Sorry, I must not be understanding this request very well - what feature is missing from Rockbox which is currently preventing you from doing this?

I'd do it by adding the folders I want to include to a playlist, and then shuffling it...

Zardoz:
I have a fairly large number of music files on my player (18,000 +), arranged in folders from A to Z. What I was suggesting was a feature whereby one could add/make a playlist of say 200 tracks, selected at 'random' from all folders

GodEater:
Well can you explain how you'd make this feature work (from an interface point of view, I'm not asking you to implement it in code!) differently from how I suggested ?

Llorean:
How would this be any different from shuffling all the "possible" songs, then simply having a sleep time stop playback after the right time/number?
