Shuffle
As I understand it, when Raduga âshuffles,â it uses an algorithm similar to shuffling cards in Blackjack. Iâm not sure how that works out in relationship to most play lists. Could you elaborate a bit? As an example, letâs say you had a 400 song play list. Where would the #10 song likely to be in the play list after one shuffle? How about two or more shuffles? It would be helpful to know a bit more about how this actually works to take full advantage of its capabilities. It may be my imagination, but it seems like songs in the first half of our 400 song example tend to stay in the first half of the play list, and songs in the second half seem to gravitate towards the later numbers. Is this my imagination, or something mathematically provable? Maybe we need a âsuper shuffleâ every now and then to make sure that songs donât repeat at more or less the same time of day. It would be handy to be able to divide the play list in half, thirds, or whatever, and cut and paste it in a different order. You can do that by opening the play list in Word Pad, doing your cut and paste and save it again as a Raduga play list, but that is awkward. It isnât hard to really mess things up â been there, done that⦠It there a way to do that within Raduga, while the program is running?
