[NOT AN ISSUE, QUESTION] Is it possible to do a true random/shuffle with all music? #136

Closed Markieyer closed 2 years ago

Markieyer commented 3 years ago

I'd like to be able to shuffle through my music so I get different songs on the station each time, the best I can do is a wildcard/*, but that goes alphabetically, so it's not random at all, and I'm not sure how I could make it truly random, is that even a thing you can do with Linux? Thanks in advance

like @superamario64 suggested in #122 one may try writing script copying music to temporary folder in random order

You could use a combination of find and sort --random.
