I hope this is in the right forum.
I currently use Windows Media Player to create playlists. I often need to create random playlists with length restrictions. For example, a random selection from my collection not to exceed 2 hours. My problem is that since my collection is not weighted evenly towards each artist, the random playlists always favor the artists with more tracks in the collection. I would like to be able to create playlists with an additional restriction of, say, no more than 3 songs by any one artist or from any one album. These playlists would then need to be able to be read by Windows Media Player again since that is what I use to export tracks to my mp3 player. My collection includes mp3's and wma's.
If anyone knows of a tool that can do what I need, that would be great... thanks!
