Insert shuffled uses the same songs again
Pommes:
Hi,
I am still trying to find the best way to shuffle my complete library which is more than 32000 files.
When I use the context menu to insert shuffled it seems to use the same songs all the time,
Some albums/artists are used all the time, while others never showed up. so some of my music will never be played.
I like the database feature where I can go to album and then random, and this offers me a random album.
But I can not find a way to play all songs randomly.
Could anybody explain to me, how I could achieve this?
Or is this not possible with a library of more than 32000 songs?
Is there any way to modify some file in Rockbox to set the playlist limit to higher number than 32000? Then I could just create a playlist with all songs and play it on shuffle...
Please let me know.
Thank you very much!
RufusA:
Make a backup of the config.cfg file in the .rockbox subdirectory on the player.
Then edit the original file, and try increasing the value on the line:
max files in playlist: 32000
Depending on player, it should work okay, though will result in less memory available for other things. You can always revert if it causes problems!
Pommes:
Hey RufusA,
Wow, i did it and it works.
Thanks a lot!
On my Ipod Classic 7.5 with Tarkan Quad i have all my 65000+ songs in one huge playlist.
No issues.
Problem solved.

Hello. need some help
i am close to the max 32000 limit on my sansa clip. is there any chance of some step by step guidance on how to extend the limit. I'm a bit of a rockbox novice unfortunately.
Many thanks
