FS#6427 - Time limited Random mixes
|
DetailsIt would be cool to be able to have a time-limited random mix option. (for example, a random mix of tracks that lasts 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.)
[a similar option is/was available on the Rio Karma] |
This task depends upon

First: what is a "mix"? Is it an ordinary playlist? a playlist with shuffle? a playlist with weighted black magic shuffle?
Second: what should the player do when the limit is reached? power off? (There is already a sleep timer option available htat does this)
It would just be an ordinary playlist, containing random tracks, calculated to last for a set amount of time.
For example, say I have a collection of 500 albums that contain a total of 5,000 tracks and all happend to be 5 minutes long. I would then select "Random Mix" (or whatever you want to call it), and then I would enter the length of time I wanted it to last, say 1 hour. Rockbox would then randomly select 12 songs and create a playlist. After the playlist is over (in one hour in this case), it would do whatever it does now when a playlist ends... presumably just wait for user input.
I hope this makes things clearer...
length of an entire playlist, but I know some people are interested in that sort of thing.
I think this is possible to do, lets see if someone wants it bad enough to implement it :-)
