The randomizer seems to just jump down the list a
random amount. So, it will play the A's and then the
B's and then the C's, etc. What would be really nice
is if the current playlist was put into mysql and then,
when you choose random and new list is create with it
being truely random. Then, you can toggle between
random and non-random. When going form rname to
non-random, you could just jump to that track in the
non-random list. This way you could select your whole
collection and if you found a song from an album you
like, you could choose non-random and jump around
within the album that song is in. The other thing that
would be great about putting the current playlist in
mysql is that next time you turned the system on, you
could play the current playlist without having to go in
a select it all again. Much like the way a cd changer
works.

Just some thoughts,
Jason
