Thread: wa shuffle plugin

Winamp has addressed the shuffle problem in the last few versions. There is now a shuffle option in the preferences that let you change the morph rate. As far as determining what songs you like.... I havn't seen any. Why don't you go through your playlist and delete the ones you don't like??

probaply because playlist is too big
mine on my homepc is about 5500 songs without the ones from the other pc's in the LAN ( LAn includet ~ 8 to 10000 songs )

for me - It's toooo much work

thats too much, athleast 30% is crap, go berzerk with your shift-del!!

Winamp's shuffle sucks badly.

I have found the following to be an easy workaround.
I create a playlist, and randomize it using CTRL+SHIFT+R, then when it gets repeatitive, I just do a few more CTRL+SHIFT+R's, and then save the playlist again.

tation: good idea!

I was thinking more about something that would play the songs I like (ie don't skip them) more often and the ones I like less not so much and then the others just randomly.
So if I select a cd and there are some songs I like there would be a bigger probability that these songs will be selected by the shuffle plugin.
Ah maybe I should just leave everything as it is and press ctrl+shift+r every week

I had given some thought to writing my own plugin for winamp, but just never got around to it. I did get on winamp today though and did a search for shuffle, and found one plugin that is supposed to do exactly what you want, but I couldn't get it to actually do anything. So I may start working on one. It would probably be a long while before I got it finished though. Way too much going on, but it would be cool. :-)
