Author Topic: Windows Media player question John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 02-16-2007 07:25 AM                     I like to listen to music at work; I usually have WMP running on my PC. I put it in the 'random' play mode, but you'd be surprised how often the same song 'randomly' comes up. Is there any way to have a sort of 'look-up' table to keep track? That is, a song can't be played twice until all songs have been played. I think part of the answer is 'don't use WMP' so any other, hopefully free, suggestions?  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-19-2007 11:11 PM                        yeah...dont use WMP. Many other programs like winamp have a function where it will shuffle the songs on the playlist in a random fashion, but it will loop and repeat the whole works again. I guess the ideal solution is to add more songs.

If you want to spend a small bit for the professional download of Winamp, then you can burn your MP3 files to disc, or do a reverse in making audio files for audio Cd through Winamp. Also, you can set preferences in Winamp to play all kinds of video and audio files- or custon choice of either media playback. You can also listen to radio stations and watch all sorts of streaming video through Winamp as well .. via Shoutcast-a streaming service from Winamp .. WMP is so proprietary, that it's just sicking to where I've hidden it from any usage ...  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-20-2007 08:34 PM                  Winamp sux! Too fucking complicated and a hog. As long as I have the repeat function set to "off", WMP plays each tune just once and then stops.  |  IP: Logged
