Title: Repeating Random?
Post by: GHammer on May 10, 2006, 06:30:35 am

I have a smartlist which I use frequently.
Since .183 I notice the same songs being picked again and again. I saw this in an recent build too.

I understand that random isn't, but I seem to get a good number of repeats, often enough that I recall the song, and last.fm shows a good deal of repeating too.

I think it is in the date function. I use that to exclude things heard in the past 10 days. That does not seem to be working here.

Any ideas?

Code: [Select]

[Media Type]=[Audio] -rating=1 ~sort=[Random] ~mix=30,80%,{-[Rating]=> [3] [Last Played]=>10d ~limit=-1,1,[Artist]},20%,{[Rating]=> [4] ~limit=-1,1,[Artist]}

What happens if you place ~sort=[Random] right at the end?

Marko mentioned ages ago about modifiers not playing well with each other, the impression i was left with is that they should be at least shielded form each other with parentheses.
