Imagine my horror when I was checking my SSD backups and discovered I'd never ripped this delightful Box Set :eek:
And then my delight in that the BD of 461 O.B. - Scheiner mix; had three extra session out takes on it that sound pretty damn good! :SG

not quite the place for it, so I will cheat. Hey, great you found more to listen to there Pupster. Hey, while I think of it, does foobar2000 have a random play feature? What about random play by genre?

I don't know, but I'll look next time, usually I just listen to whole albums or selections, but you can highlight many various files in file folders (flac) and they'll load up and play. Doesn't seem to want to do that with wav files IIRC.

From the Foobar2000 FAQ

Random / Shuffle Playback Order

What's the difference between Shuffle and Random playback order modes?
  • Random mode picks tracks randomly, without special measures to prevent track repetitions other than a simple check to prevent the same track from playing twice in a row.
  • Shuffle modes keep an internal randomized list of tracks in your playlist and play tracks according to their order in that list, so you don't get repetitions until all tracks in your playlist have been played. Shuffle's randomized track lists for each playlist are re-created on foobar2000 restart or when starting/advancing playback with another shuffle mode. Note that manually selecting a track to play in your playlist will result in shuffle playback continuing from that track's location on the randomized list, which is often perceived as repetitions: each time you manually choose a track to play (by doubleclicking it in playlist, etc.), shuffle plays the same tracks after that track; use 'Play → Random' menu command or the 'Random' button when you want to continue playback from a random track instead.
Random mode: Why do I hear the same track more than once a day in a very long playlist?
See Birthday paradox. Random mode doesn't prevent track repetitions other than the same track played twice in a row. You probably want to use 'Shuffle (tracks)' mode instead.
Shuffle mode: Why do I hear the same tracks regularly, played in the same order?
Shuffle modes keep an internal reordered list of tracks in your playlist. If you manually start playback from some track that you've already played, you'll get the same tracks played after it as last time. Use the 'Playback → Random' menu command to pick a random track in your playlist to resume from.
What's the purpose of Shuffle (albums) and Shuffle (directories) modes?
These modes can be used to reorder your playlist on album basis rather than track basis and play tracks in each album in sequential order. Shuffle (albums) is usable when your files are tagged properly (”%album artist% | %date% | %album%” evaluates to unique value for each of your album and doesn't vary between tracks in one album); Shuffle (directories) is meant as a fallback when your tagging scheme renders Shuffle (albums) useless but you keep each album in a separate folder. Note that the album identification pattern can be customized in 'Preferences → Advanced → Playback → Shuffle → Album grouping pattern'.
