Hey,
After using Moode a couple of months, I can surely say that it's robust and way more user friendly compared to Volumio.
There is 2 points for which I'd like to have your point of view.
# 1 : random playing modes
It appears that I use a lot the random feature that plays a random song from the entire library when the playback is finished, this is like having a personal radio.
Sometimes I need to go back to normal random feature (MPD) that randomized play in the playback list. But to do this, we need to go in Configure > Audio, trigger random switch, and I think it would be a better way to switch from normal to all library randomize.
Maybe, when clicking on the random icon in the playback panel, we could have a popup list to choice between "Random playback (and stop when done)" and "Random Playback (and continue with library)", or something like that.
# 2 : random in a genre
For now, there is no way to listen to 1 genre in random order, like having a thematic personal radio. I don't know how it could be done and if this could be working with thousands of songs in 1 genre added to the playback.
Or another way could be radios automatically generated from each genre. In the Radio Panel, 2 lists could be shown as subpanels : Web Radio / Local Radios ?
I often want to listen only Jazz in the evening or Reggae in the morning with just one click/tap, randomly played.
What do you think ?
Thx for reading
