Album Shuffle Description

Let's start with this basic assumptions: 1. You have many albums, each one in one folder 2. You use Dr.O's "Playlist Separator" plugin, which lets you separate them very nicely in your playlist and you want to: 3. Play one album track-by-track, then random pick another one, play it in order, and so on, without using a big complex plugin like "Albumlist". You just want to keep it simple, in your beautiful organized (with Dr.O's separators) playlist. 4. You also want to add to the playlist various single tracks, which should be randomly picked just like complete albums. Well, this plugin will do this job. Just use Dr'O's "Playlist Separator" plugin and make sure that: 1. Every album is preceeded by a separator, which starts with at least 5 minuses (for example "----- My Album -----", or simply "-----------") 2. A block of single tracks to be played randomly, not being part of an album, must pe preceeded by a separator which starts with at least five "equals" (for example "===== Tracks to be randomly selected ===="). You can create this with: Right Click -> Insert Separator, and put in the "New Entry" field something like "separator://?S====== ..." The first entries in the playlist, before any separator, are considered random tracks. Enable the plugin from the configuration window and just listen. Things you should know: 1. The "Previous" button doesn't work and it has been disabled, as it messes with the shuffling algorithm. 2. The shuffling completely overrides Winamp's default shuffling. So nothing like "Shuffle Morph Rate" will work. 3. I use a Mersenne Twister algorithm to select the random playlist entry. 4. To avoid playing the same file/album twice (by random), after one file/album is played it won't be played again until the whole playlist is played. One exception: the first file/album upon you double-click to start the playing is not taken into account. 5. There may be some problems large playlists. They seem not to be this plugin's fault, but Dr.O's "Playlist Separator" plugin's.
