oh, I'm not taking about video shuffle. In audio, sometimes the same song plays 2 or 3 times in a row or the same song after one different song, and there are many songs that never get played at all.
I don't know if there are settings in winamp for shuffle, never looked at it.

Thanks guino

good update

this is an issue with winamps shuffle algorythm unfortunately and now that winamp has seen its better days i doubt they will ever fix it. You can try using the RANDOM feature but that just randomizes ur playlist.

@guino, is it possible for RR to have a separate random function from winamp which keeps tracks of songs already played?

Best thing I've found is to randomize the playlist and then just have winamp play without shuffle. Chuck had found a way to pass these commands to winamp a while ago. You can always reorganize the list in alphabetical order or reverse order.

ExecTBL.ini file
"RAND","ACTIVATE;Playlist Editor||SENDKEY;^+r||RELOADLIST"
"REV","ACTIVATE;Playlist Editor||SENDKEY;^r||RELOADLIST"
"ABC","ACTIVATE;Playlist Editor||SENDKEY;^+1||RELOADLIST"

You could try my flip-flop play

It will play 3 songs then turn on SHUFFLE go to next song then turn off SHUFFLE and play 3 more.
I use this with the above random.

Code:

ExecTBL.ini
"ONSONGSTART","$FLIPFLOPCOM$"

"FLIPFLOP","SETVAR;FLIP;0||BYVAR;FLIPFLOPSET;SETVAR;FLIPFLOPSET;1<<SETVAR;FLIPFLOPSET;0||BYVAR;FLIPFLOPSET;SHUFFELOFF<<FLIPFLOPJUMP||BYVAR;FLIPFLOPSET;SETVAR;FLIPFLOPCOM;<<SETVAR;FLIPFLOPCOM;FLIPFLOPJUMP||SAVETOSKIN;FLIPFLOPSET;$FLIPFLOPSET$||SAVETOSKIN;FLIPFLOPCOM;$FLIPFLOPCOM$"
"FLIPFLOPJUMP","BYVAR;FLIP;FLIP1<<FLIP2<<FLIP3<<FLOP"
"FLIP1","SHUFFELOFF||SETVAR;FLIP;1"
"FLIP2","SHUFFELOFF||SETVAR;FLIP;2"
"FLIP3","SETVAR;FLIP;3"
"FLOP","SHUFFELON||SETVAR;FLIP;1"
"SHUFFELON","BYIND;SHUFFLE;SHUFFLE<<"
"SHUFFELOFF","BYIND;SHUFFLE;<<SHUFFLE"


button to turn on and off
"FLIPFLOP"

on off label
"BYVAR;FLIPFLOPSET;=Flip-Flop off<<=Flip-Flop on"

I spent ALL night converting the rest of my skin over, saving out all of the PSD's as PNG's. It looks fantastic! The transparencies are gonna open a whole new world to skinning for sure!

Here is a preview of my skin, to show an example of how the new GDI stuff can be used (Yes, thats a live view of what the Main Menu would look like with the color / image selected in the list, done by overlaying a transparent main menu capture, over the background selected in the list)

(Corney song I know, but was the most appropriate title I could fine heheheh)


Thanks Again Guino!!!!!

this is why my "mod" for your skin will never be released. too many updates!

F-in sweet. Can't wait to get home to try this out.

Hot!

Now Weather doesn't work.....
