Here's my little script for MM that may be of help to you: I have usually set track numbers in tags. When starting playback on an album, I usually want to randomize the playlist first and then play the list back from top to the bottom. I dislike the embedded shuffle function with the track jumping ...

I have disabled "Modify Timestamp". But when I change tags, the timestamp is also set to the current date.
I have my files on a samba share on linux (is this a problem?). I'm using MM 3.1.0.1256.
