Tagcache and playlist

(1/4) > >>

jmdennis:
Is there a way to use tagcache to create a playlist?  What I mean is that I want to create a playlist of shuffled songs using tagcache.  I know that I can create a playlist and have it shuffle all my songs but if I add podcast it adds these as well.  On the Apple firmware side they had a menu option as the main menu to shuffle songs and it would just shuffle the songs you had and not add any podcast.  I just want to set up some thing in tagcache to do this same thing so I could just have it go to the music folder and shuffle those and not the podcast.  I know I could manually add all these to the playlist but I would like to do it differently.  I guess the one thing I miss on the apple side is the shuffle songs.  If I could set up a menu like this I would be a happy camper.

jmdennis,

I don't see how this thread is different to your 'music count' one, which you seem to have given up on.

Shuffling a selection of songs is easy, using the shuffle setting. You then confuse this issue with the podcast one from the other thread.

EDIT: The 'music count' thread has now been locked. We can finally sort out your problem with differentiating music and podcasts here.

jmdennis:
I created this one as it was a better header to what I wanted.  The music count was done already.  You are right that shuffle is really easy and I use this all the time.  I allowed it to create a playlist and will now add the podcast back and will just use the one playlist with out the podcast and hopefully this will solve my problem.  I just figured it would be nice if they could add a menu call shuffle songs for those of us that like this.

I'm still struggling with this statement somewhat...

Shuffle can be initiated one of three ways:
1. Using the 'Quick Menu'
2. Selecting Shuffle through the 'Main Menu' (Menu>General Settings>Playback>Shuffle). How is this not '...a menu call shuffle songs...'?
3. Using the 'Insert shuffled' playlisting option

jmdennis:
I have used these menu's but when I do it adds my podcast to it.  I do not want to go through and add a big playlist.  If I am going to use the playlist option I let it create a playlist on it's on.  I want an option that says shuffle songs that do not add my podcast to it.
