Title: Shuffle multiple Genres
Post by: jgreen8240 on February 14, 2016, 11:55:57 am

Folks - I found that you can shuffle a particular genre but is there way to do it for multiple ones. Trying to mimic what I can do through my Logitech media server which basically allows you to select a number of genres and then chose random songs to put a playlist together. Appreciate your help.

Sounds like maybe you want a SmartList.  You could set up the rules to include as many genres as you want.  Then add a modifier to shuffle the list.  Finally, you could optionally limit the length of the list to a certain number of songs... maybe 100 for example; just to keep the list from becoming really large.

Each time you refresh the list, it should shuffle again and pick (mostly) new songs.

Brian - thanks so much. New to JRiver and didn't know you can write your own smartlist. Will definitely give it a try.
