I use dBpowerAMP to play my mp3's and nearly always have it set on random play. The only problem is it's NOT random. It seems to play tracks out of a few folders and then slowly moves onto others. It's hard to explain, but, for example, it's played two tracks from an Aoki Takamasa album (Indigo Rose), with a couple of Aphex tracks in between, and it plays a lot of Nick Drake (more regularly than it should, given the % Nick Drake I have)....... maybe someone can explain this? Maybe not? Either way, I made a thread about it :) |

Have you heard Aoki Takamasa & Tujiko Noriko's album '28'? |

my random thoughts on the subject: - random is made with some strange math algorythms, the better the player the better math behind its random, methinks. - i use winamp and you can adjust its level of randomness in playing - so i set it on max randomizing - dBpoweramp can be used as a player ?? i didn't know about it, i use it as a [very good] ripper/encoder/decoder. |

when i use the random/shuffle mode in itunes, some tracks seem to play much more often than others too... |

Maybe it has something to do with fragmented files. Perhaps it will play tracks that are easier to locate in a root directory rather than ones that are scattered. That could explain it. |

there's a preference somewhere that makes itunes gravitate towards higher rated tracks (and i think it goes for more-played tracks too) |

I started using it as a player after a recommendation from XLT. It's very simple, with a basic interface I like and without to many functions to clutter things up. I find it simpler than WMP and less resource hungry than winAMP...... although I don't think it can play steaming content (I still have to use winAMP for that). It's a seperate app to dBPoweramp Music Converter. Gwely: Yes, I have 28........ indigo rose is probably my favourite release........ really, really good stuff. And your fragmented file theory would make some sense. I know it's very hard (impossible??) to get a truly random function, but I do think they could do better than what they have at the moment...... I don't want to use WMP. And there are no options to control random play......a downside to using a simplified player |

I think random play should be set by chaos mechanics...... i.e. you play too much aphex twin : there's a typhoon in japan |
