rala Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 It would be nice if this button shuffles only the current list and don't goes to the next list after that list. Can you add an option for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Change the Repeat mode (using the icon next to Shuffle) from 'Advance List' to 'Repeat Off'. You could useĀ 'Repeat List' if you want to hear the same list again. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rala Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Do you mean on the player screen? I'm sorry I mean the shuffle button in the list / playlist / ... view. This is always a complete shuffle and I've to change it every time I shuffle a new playlist. Ā EDIT to make it more clear: And I want if I click 'shuffle' on a playlist or album that only the current listĀ is shuffeled and repeated. Right now the default is repeat list & shuffle everythingĀ and there seems no option to change it per default - I have to change it everytime I shuffle a new list.

andrewilley Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Max is planning to add some more functionality to the Shuffle button in the library views for just this sort of requirement I think. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBEmerson Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 How about "no repeat, repeat 1 track, repeat list, repeat scrambled list" (I guess "repeat scrambled track" is superfluous LOL).Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I press this button the shuffle mode is ALWAYS shuffle everything and not just the current list. the repeat mode is set to current list only but this doesn't help here I guess... 10 minutes ago, andrewilley said: That's exactly what I described, you just turn the Repeat mode off so it does not advance to the next list after the current one is done.

RBEmerson Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'm totally confused. I tried Andre's suggestion and got a random track notĀ on the playlist. As far as I can see, scramble within a list doesn't exist. At not as a one-click choice.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To confirmĀ thatĀ you are in Playlist mode by the way, tap the metadata info line (near the bottom of the player screen) and seeĀ that the mode shows as PLAYLISTS withĀ the current track number out of the total number of tracks in the list displayed.

RBEmerson Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 No question about being in playlist mode, as confirmed by tapping the metadata.Ā Ā I think this thread is now almost completely related to "Shuffle on in currently playing playlist or queue". It's probably best, to avoid duplication, cross-posting, and general chaos,Ā to stick with replies to that thread. [/ smile ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBEmerson Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I guess the two threads can be merged. However I think the easiest way to continue is to post a link to my thread.

rala Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 I noticed there are now options for the shuffle button for library but not for playlist. I'd like to shuffle my playlist - but always the category option is selected (too) and not just "shuffle titles". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shuffle buttons in the library views don't have any long-press options as far as I know? So for Playlist shuffling, which mode would you like it to use? At present itĀ shuffles the currently requested Playlist, then once all of the tracks in that playlist are finished (assuming your Repeat mode is set to Advance List) it will pick a new Playlist and shuffle-play all of the songs in that list, and so on until all Playlists have been played. What action would you wish it to take? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rala Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 I didn't say sth about long press If I use it it chooses the shuffle mode "titles and categories". My repeat mode is set to list but why is the shuffle mode not just only "titles" (the one in the middle)? (I'm sorry my app is in German and I don't know how the entries are named in English) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that would result in shuffling the current list, then playback moving on to the next list IN ORDER (not a new random list) and then shuffling the songs in that list. It's just an operational decision, to make the ongoing shuffle process more random. Max has said in another thread that he may revisit the Shuffle feature in lists and add some optional choices to it at some point in the future.Ā Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rala Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Is it possible or planned to add this feature? I want to shuffle just the songs in the current playlist / album. Ā Sorry, I don't really get if I'm really the only one who wants it or it is so hard to add. If you don't want to add it or it doesn't have priority it is sad but also fine for me. Just wondering that there are some improvements in this section and this topic is open since 2018 (and maybe also before). I have several playlists or albums I like to hear but shuffled and right now j always have to click any song and then add shuffle manually. Like that the first song is never random.

At the top, in the header, press the shuffle button. It will play all songs in the list randomly. If you donāt want to leave the list, or to repeat the list when all songs have played, you can change that in the repeat settings. This has been available for quite aĀ long time.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
