First of all, people have different opinions on what "true random play" means. The "shuffle" approach is a lot easier to handle technically, since the sequence of songs is static. For instance, if we just picked the next song randomly, we would have to keep a a history of the played songs, since we want to be able to play the previous song by pressing Left. > I also think the whole enqueing system is Rockbox's biggest > downfalls.

Then he would probably be much better off with an iPod, because he obviously wasn't after advanced functionality. > I personally think the Play button should come up with a > menu containing the following options: > > "Play Track" "Enqueue Track" The whole idea behind our queueing system is that you are able to choose where the track should be queued, after the currently playing song or last in the playlist (or after the last queued song). I agree that the interface could be easier, but I don't agree that the current functionality should be stripped down to a simple "enqueue", whatever that means.
