Hi,

I expect this is a daft question but how do you play say, an artist or album, with the playlist shuffled yet not repeated?

I know you can randomize any playlist but that's not really good enough.

I'm using Foobar 0.8.3 - do I need to upgrade?

Cheers,

We Are Devo. Superb album.

Do you have foo_shuffle?

Looking at the preferences it says "When the history size is set to maximum, playback will stop when every track has been played.".

So, I'm thinking that you should ensure that you have foo_shuffle, and set the history size to maximum. This is only a theory, but it sounds like it should work.

Cheers - setting the history to maximum seems to have done it. In that case, how do you do shuffle with repeat, without changing that? It's not something I really want but it seems to me that the two are naturally quite separate options. Again perhaps I'm missing something - I guess there's a add-in to manage this but I haven't found it.

Well done for spotting the reference too biggrin.gif

OK - same thing again, but with 0.9 this time. I choose 'Shuffle (Tracks)' and it plays the selection randomly, but won't stop at the end. No options as far as I can see.

Am I being thick or something? blink.gif

Anyone? This can't be missing, surely? unsure.gif

It's just what I always do - play through an album in shuffle mode once, and when it's done, it'll stop, and I can change to something else. This must be possible, no?

Can I just bump this to the top as I am having the same problem.
This is such a nice little program but for me the lack of seperate repeat and shuffle options makes it useless for me.

.... or am I just being blind to some blatently obvious option somewhere ?

(using v.0.9.4)

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, just did a search and added to the most relevant thread I could see.

Bump. I'm also looking for a way to stop this shuffle behavior. Mine loops instead of stopping after all tracks on playlist have been played. Where can this be changed (if it can)?

edit: using 9.4.
Thanks in advance!
