ras52 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 How did I only just discover this? http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=randomalbumplayer It's a script for iTunes that selects and plays a random album. If you're not a techie, don't be put off by the idea of "scripts", you only need to drag it to the right folder then it appears as a menu item. There are quite a few other useful scripts on that site. It also has excellent taste, having just selected Don Juan's Reckless Daughter: Jaco's finest hour, IMO. Quote
wingnutkj Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Good find! I've found that "random" or "shuffle" buttons on mp3 players/software tend to be pretty useless, but I like the idea of being able to push a button and getting a whole album chosen for me. It needs a "and now for something completely different" button as well, which picks an album from a totally different genre than the currently playing album. Quote
KevB Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Don't ipods have the option to be able to shuffle at either 'song' or 'album' level anymore? mine does but it's not a particularly recent model. Personally I hardly ever shuffle at album level, prefer to do it at song level from a predetermined playlist. I'd never fit all that I have on iTunes onto any portable device anyway.
