I'm trying to get the playlist result I used to get in MM4. I think I understand the change, but would appreciate a pointer do some documentation.
I have a large collection of mostly classical music. I use an auto playlist to randomly select full albums from the larger collection. I want the order of the selection to be a random sequence of albums, meaning that they change in every selection.
What
seems to work is to construct the list with a
check on limit (to 99999 files), selected by Random Album(auto-refresh)
then
Sort By: Random Album, and Track #
I seem to be getting what I expect, but I'm not sure about exactly how this is expected to work.
I have read the wiki pages:
https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=14553
https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=15777
and sort of get it. Is there any actual user level documentation that explains how this is supposed to work??
I guess I think "persistent" and "random" don't quite go....
thx,
