MC10 random album
« on: September 09, 2005, 12:55:17 am »

Hi,
After some experimenting I am still unable to make MC10 play a complete album selected randomly and then move on to another randomly selected album.
Can anybody help me with this?

And please tell me if I'm being unclear about what I mean...

how about:

[media type]=audio ~limit=6,-1,[album] ~sort=[album],[track #]

This will return 6 random albums. Change the number 6 to tweak the number of albums.
You could add some [last played] rules to that to prevent from hearing the same album too frequently if you wanted too.

Save this as a smartlist and each time it fires you'll get 6 more albums.

The search options within MC are many and varied. Open the help file (help > contents or press F1) and from the contents tab, browse to "Create and edit files and libraries" and read up on "Smartlists" and "Search" paying particular attention to the "Smartlist and Search - Rules and Modifiers" section found under smartlists.

Set aside a little time to read those sections I referenced above and you will soon have the awesome power of MC's search abilities under your control :)
