Pick random album to play

(1/1)

YogiPL:
Hi!

I've been using a smart playlist to pick random albums to play - see attachment for settings - and I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this.

The problem is: when you have an album, let's say with a 100 songs and another with 5 the one with 100 songs will get picked way more often due to the fact the "random" pick is just selecting songs from the database and expanding them to full album.

Is there a better way to do this (ideal would be randomly selecting album names instead of individual songs so every one has equal chance to be selected).

Thanks! :)

You could limit it to tracks with the track number of one.  Then you'll only have one file per album there.
