Support and General Use > Audio Playback, Database and Playlists

Any way I can get a multi-folder random without playlists?

<< < (3/3)

Llorean:
As a note, "queued" tracks are removed from the playlist after they're played. "Insert" is the way to permanently add tracks (so that they'll show up if reshuffled, and be in the file if you save it to file).

That's why I suggested "queue."

If you create a playlist of all tracks on the player, then when you want to hear a specific song, queue it, you'll accomplish what you want.

Considering you MUST browse to the song to add a specific song your way as well, the "extra" attention of pressing a couple more buttons when you've been reading and browsing a song listing anyway is trivial, and I find it hard to believe you honestly think this will put more drain on your mind (since it's a set of pressed you can memorize and eventually form a habit of) than having to actually read and navigate your directory tree to a unique point.

It's unfair? Well, some people have taken their (usually free -- only a few people get actually paid for doing open source development, and in this project there is none I know of) time to build up some software. Do you consider it fair against those people demanding things from them? Do you really think it's fair ignoring this way the work they already did? The fact that you got something for free? Heck, those guys could instead make some commercial / shareware software and sell it instead. They could do completely different things during the time spend instead.

Do you really think this "change it yourself" is only arrogance and "unfairness" against those people who can't do such changes themselves? You could, like they did, spend the time on learning on how to do things. There is a reason for this habit ... but as this is rather in general than the original this is getting off topic, so I'm stopping here ...
