I wrote a blog post a while back describing my irritation the limited random-ness of iTunes generated random/shuffled playlists. The problem basically came down to a weak random number and I wrote a tool to generate some really random playlists.
I spent some time yesterday and did up a new version with some new features.
New features:
- you can now permanently exclude albums and tracks
- in a playlist, you can decrease the number of times an album or a artist appears in a playlist by 25%
Here’s the new comprehensive manual:
- CTRL-P — create a new random playlist
- CTRL-S — write the playlist to iTunes (playlist name is set to the current date and time)
- CTRL-R — exclude the current selected track’s artist from the playlist
- CTRL-L — exclude the current selected track’s album from the playlist
- CTRL-T — exclude the current selected track from the playlist
- CTRL-G — exclude the current selected track’s genre from the playlist
- CTRL-Shift-R — decrease the number of times the current track’s artist appears in the playlist by 25%
- CTRL-Shift-L — decrease the number of times the current track’s album appears in the playlist by 25%
