Random albums not songs, how? - HemiRick - 06-08-2020
I want Moode to continously play complete albums (not songs) in random order. Any way to make this happen?

Clicking the asterisk * below the volume wheel plays a single random album - but I guess you know that already. If you continue to click the * then the playlist will fill up with a series of random albums. When you have enough, go to the top and click 'Play'!

Currently @jonners method is the only way. There is a TODO list item to develop an album version of auto-shuffle but it hasn't gotten priority given all the other priority 1 items.
Maybe a dev will volunteer their time to create an album shuffle :-)

I've been using akujen's MPDRandom Python script for the past year and it works flawlessly. You can have it run as a daemon in the background and it'll function like the official autosrhuffle feature, but then with albums.

Ok To install this I need to SSH in to Moode and type this?
#Installation git clone git://github.com/axujen/mpdrandom.git cd mpdrandom sudo ./setup.py install

Interesting.
Does it work with Consume mode ON to prevent Playlist from growing?

Essentially yes. Open a SSH connection and issue the following commands:
Code:
git clone git://github.com/axujen/mpdrandom.gitThen navigate to the newly created folder:
Code:
cd mpdrandomand install the script:
Code:
sudo ./setup.py installRE: Random albums not songs, how? - Pieter - 06-12-2020

I guess that makes crossfading tricky?(06-09-2020, 06:25 PM)Pieter Wrote: I've been using akujen's MPDRandom Python script for the past year and it works flawlessly.

Right. Crossfade needs two songs in the queue in order to perform the fade out/fade in.
