Music Randomizer

I have all my music stored in the default ITunes Music structure.
I haved added the ..../music/ folder to the Serviio server.

Would it be possible to add a Randomizer to the Music Folders?
This way the songs could play radomly, instead of always going down the same list.

Randomize by Genre, Artist, Album, even the complete Music directory!(Sometimes I like a bit of Christmas Music in the summer)

This would in a way mimic the ITunes feature.

Or is it possible to use the ITunes engine to stream to Serviio?

Thanks for your consideration.

0.5 will include a Random music category, that will include random songs from the whole library.

Would this also include music videos?

Music videos are not yet implemented. ATM it's quite low on my list, not sure how many people would find that useful.

No dramas. I have a heap of music videos and it would be good to stream them to the TV and output audio through the stereo system.

Cheers,

I couldn't find a newer topic on this issue - any chance of getting randomize feature within a specific folder, so that contents would not play back in the same order every time?

Check how 0.5.1 works for you

Looking forward to it - it's a feature I'll use a lot. When can we look for 0.5.1?

If we get folder-randomization and FLAC transcoding, I'll probably never ask for anything ever again!

It's just fixed in 0.5.1... so you'll get random files from your whole library, but properly this time. FLAC transcode is there as well.

Maybe I'm not understanding. I don't want random files from my whole library, i.e., R:\Music, but from folders within the library, e.g., R:\Music\Reggae, etc. Is that what will be available in 0.5.1?

I don't think so, but some renderers like Sony Bravia had these feature, randomize from directories.
