Hello all, new MediaMonkey Gold member here!
I'm used to listening to my music collection (~5000 tracks) on a Creative Zen music player. Now, the Creative Zens always had a great feature that I loved: Album of the Day. It would queue a random album from anywhere in the library. Every day, I'd select a different album and that would be the album I'd listen to for the day.
Basically, what I'm looking for, is a way to start up mediamonkey and have MM select me a random album to listen to.
Is there a script somewhere that can do this? I'm fairly tech-savvy so installing and using probably wouldn't be a problem, but I have searched a bit and couldn't really find something that would work in this way. If any one can help I'd appreciate it!!

Yes, there's an old script named "Selection Of The Day" by Octopod.
It was written in 2004 but it's working fine with latest MM 3.x.

Re: Play Random Album
You could also use MagicNodes to create a node with a Random Album. I've got one I use I'll post this weekend.

Re: Play Random Album
Here's my code for a MagicNode to show a random album:
Code: Select all
One random album|Icon:Top level|Child of:Now Playing|Filter:Songs.IDAlbum IN (SELECT IDAlbum FROM Songs GROUP BY IDAlbum HAVING Count(TrackNumber) = Max(Cast(TrackNumber As integer)) AND Count(TrackNumber) > 3)\<Album|Sort order:Random|Top:1|Unknown:No|Show nodes:No>
