Shuffle without Repeat
« on: January 30, 2013, 01:55:53 PM »
I'm new to Rockbox, so forgive me if this has been discussed, I searched and couldn't find what I was looking for.

I have a Sansa Fuse Plus and I was wondering is Rockbox has the capability of shuffle without repeat?

What i'm talking about is that lets say you have 2,000 songs.
Pick a song at random from the 2000.
Play it.
If it's played or skipped, put it in a "played song" holder and remove from list.
Pick a song at random from the 1,999.
Do this until number of songs is 0.

I have never had an MP3 player that could do this.

Any comments, suggestions, ideas?

Thank You,

Rodger

Yes, Rockbox can do this.  It can either do a proper shuffle of a playlist, or if you queue the files they will be removed when played (you can shuffle the playlist).

I am unsure how to parse your question. Whether you mean:

Can Rockbox shuffle a playlist without playing any given track more than once?
or
Can Rockbox shuffle a playlist and not repeat the the playlist when the list is exhausted?

Whether or not I truly understand the question is largely irrelevant, however, as the answer to both versions is still yes. Rockbox will only ever play each track once in a shuffled playlist, and unless a repeat playback option is enabled playback will finish after the playlist is exhausted, if 'repeat shuffled' is enabled, the playlist will be reshuffled and repeated.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

This one:

"Can Rockbox shuffle a playlist without playing any given track more than once?"

One playlist, play each song randomly once until all songs are played.
