That is thinking 'Outside the box'   ;)

I can't test that idea right now but I am sure to try it later   :cheers:

--- Quote ---good idea... I'm going to check if the first song that is played is the first one into the directory

Try first in playlist too!

I can confirm that it's always the first song in the playlist. Also, the random feature has a tendency to grab the same songs over and over again - but at least it's picking different songs.

I wonder if that's intentional.  DOSCab/WinCab's random feature shows a preference for songs you play most often; maybe something similar is going on here.

last time I asked about this SWINDUS indicated it may be due to something 'buggy' in BASS.DLL

If Swindus is using a standard random number generator to pick the next song to play, he must be sure to seed the random number generator with a different value each time Mala starts (usually using temporary data on the system like load levels, processes running, some combination of both, etc.).  Random number generators are only as good as their seed.
