'Play All' in Music Library ??

You could make it the same as in ML2, psycik uses the red button to randomise. That would make it less "funny".

I was going to say Red button like me, but I know you don't really like the coloured buttons as not everyone has them...

[sub]

Yeah, I dont really like the coloured buttons. Most uses in North America dont have them. I suspect I'm just going leave it the way it is.

I want 'play' to shuffle them by default, since thats what my wife wants, and I'm not going life difficult by asking her to push some other button . For those that preferred it didnt shuffle by default will at least be able to go and disable this with a tweak in config.xml.

[psycik]

Good idea, and maybe a button for the people that want the choice at run time.

[HtV]

Well at least we know now who's the boss at your place, well you would have been quite unique if it had been otherwise.
And of course there's a lot in favor of having random play as default, I always use random.

Oh boy you have got guts.:eek:

Why not do it as a toggle function: 1st time you press Play it plays them in order; press Play again (unless you've moved the selection bar) and it shuffles them... Would be nice to have some visual feedback on the screen as to shuffle status...

[sub]

Nah, too confusing. I'm happy with what I've already done.

[reedmikel]

Ko - just thought you were looking for suggestions...

A compliment and a request:

This is great - I've been waiting for a long time for the ability to simply hit a few keystrokes and shuffle all the music in a location for parties. (I do know about the plugins but they require colored buttons which, as sub says above, not all of us have)

This shuffle function, however, does not appear to work at the "root" of GBPVRs configured directory structure. For example I have two music locations configured using the config app. We will call them:

[Local] -> c:\Local Music Library\
[Remote] -> \\Network Computer\Shared Music

Each contains multiple nested folders which sub mentions above will be included in the randomized playlist.

I would like to be able to hover over [Remote] which, again, lies at the 'root' of GBPVR's knowledge of the directories it uses for music, and play all the music, randomized, at that top-level location. Pressing "Play" while hovering over [Remote] now kicks me back to the main menu with no other action. I can only randomize all tracks within a subfolder.

PS: Before asking this, I have spent the last 2 hours trying to simply map a network drive to a DOS subfolder: That is: for C:\Redirect Me --> \\Network Computer\Big Library, so I could make the network drive a subfolder and not the root. No luck. (GBPVR will understandably not traverse a shortcut) This would also solve my problem, I believe, if someone could assist.
