Auto Shuffle
I use MediaMonkey 5 days a week for at minimum 9 hrs a Day so I allow MM to play ALL songs in My Library .. I have auto shuffle on and repeat on can anyone tell me why it will play about a 1/3rd of the library and repeat several tracks several times and it will NEVER play all the songs in the Library ?
Re: Auto Shuffle
Others have complained as well and MediaMonkey 4 seems to do a better job.

Re: Auto Shuffle
mm 3.2 can be used to play all songs and not make so many repeats.
they got the shuffle errors i had all fixed in that version now.
i suggest if you are still getting some then you might be missing an update from microsoft.
go to windows updates and then to microsoft updates site, and get your needed updates use the custom button
to see all you might be needing.
after that check mm 3.2 again and see if it is working proper if not then do the following.
1. make an auto playlist with 3 rules for playing all songs why only 3 cause more tend to block others for same type of rule..
2. make it have one rule for finding songs that have not been played in 4 or more days.
3. in its rule creating panel look at lower right corner you will see area to make a sorting rule make it sort from last played date z to a. i think its z to a? you want to make the oldest one show up as first one in the list.
4. click okay to save that playlist.
5. play that playlist with the shuffle button turned on, you will be playing all the songs not played since >> number of days, and the list will show oldest not played song first. and the player will shuffle them so you get a mix of that list if you want them shuffled, which might be best if you have more then one album or song by the one artist, that has the same not played date.
that is how i have all my auto playlists set up now and the player shuffle being fixed now on my jukebox really works great.
like the fact it mixes them up cause i have 3 or 4 hours of elvis and some other artists and some times it loads 2 hours of them as not played. i like them but not all in a row.
