Shuffle=Yes Ignored After Resume On AJBR
Stringrazor:
After adding new music to my original AJBR-20 (bought new years back and upgraded with a 100GB drive 2 years ago), I usually create a playlist while USB-attached in a WinXP Cmd prompt logged to the root of the AJBR drive using dir *.mp3 /b /s > 000-all.m3u then editing out the drive ID (e.g. change all "I:\" to "\"). When using Rockbox (currently at r19569-08081223 grrrr, @#!^%# credits keep popping up unsolicited....), I set shuffle=yes and repeat=shuffle or all. For years, whenever I'd shut off the AJBR then turned it back on later, RB always resumed shuffling but lately I've noticed, upon resume (and sometimes even after leaving and returning to the WPS) Shuffle=yes seems to be ignored until I set shuffle=no, return to WPS, then set shuffle=yes and return to WPS again. Very odd. I believe I've been seeing this behavior since v3.01.
EDIT: Looks like this is a known bug since Nov 6, 08. Does anyone know what the last RB ver for the AJBR-1 that had shuffle working correctly? This bug has become enough of a distraction that I want to drop back.
JdGordon:
in your .rockbox folder there should be a file named .playst_control its a regular text file so open it in wod and paste the contents here...

I believe that this bug still a problem. I entered it a few days back here:

JdGordon: Here's what's in my .playst_control file, if it's any help:
P:2:/- Playlists:'00s.m3u
Stringrazor: when you resume, does it continue on the song you stopped on before powering down, or another one? On my Recorder, shuffle ceases to work and playback resumes on a random song in the playlist.

Yup, same here. I'm going to drop back to an older release.

I wonder if this is just a bug with our model, or if the bug exists on other platforms. I'd suspect it's unique to the Recorder (or maybe all Archos models), as this is a pretty annoying bug and I haven't seen much talk about it...
