Re: [Banshee-List] Creating a randomized playlist

[Frank <funtastix googlemail com>]

What shuffle mode are you using? Are you aware, that there is
different shuffle-modes, and even more with an activated mirage
plugin? If you are really using just the pure random mode, wouldn't it
still be a better feature/improvement to make that shuffle mode
exactly what is is named and what you describe how it should behave
instead of adding a new random playlist feature?
