Title: FooBar Random/Shuffle ?
Post by: Wolfbane on 2013-04-26 10:54:41
Im new to Foobar, and cant seem to find how to make the FooBar play a random song after one song just finished.

Im aware that it is a "random song" button, but that only applies once you press it and it only happens once.

So how do I enable shuffle songs, so that it plays songs by random, without having to press the button each time.

Right click on main toolbar -> Toolbars / Playback order.

In the Foobar menu, choose Playback > Order > Random or one of the Shuffle options.

Hi. Got a problem here. If I am in a playlist but I want to shuffle or random in another one and I click on random once I activate the other playlist it still shuffles the other one that I was hearing previously. I have to actually start playing a song on the new one, then random. Annoying. Any help? Regards.

Old problem .. I hope for a solution in the new 1.6.0
Some tracks are repeated, others are not played at all

Maybe you can try this:

- create a playlist with all your music;
- start playing in that new playlist
- choose random mode.

Not very elegant but useful

"Shuffle" instead of "Random"...

"Random mode doesn't prevent track repetitions other than the same track played twice in a row. You probably want to use 'Shuffle (tracks)' mode instead." (Foobar FAQ)
