Project Description

Random Music plays random MP3 tracks from your music collection. It maintains a flat database of tracks, detailed genres, and weights, and generates a weighted random playlist from the user-selected genres. The ID3 and ID3v2 fields (title/artist/album), detailed genre, and weight (0-9) for the currently-playing track can be edited, and tracks can be removed from the playlist.

For example, a user can select only tracks with a minimum weight of 5 from the subgenres "Pop - 1970s" and "R&B - 1970s", and the playlist will adjust accordingly.

0.3

This release adds a preferences editor for
specifying paths to music collections and default
selection properties, simplifying setup and
ongoing use. It also adds a File field to the Now
Playing editor, which allows files to be moved or
renamed by editing the field. This is also useful
to identify tracks with no ID3 tags.

properties (manual configuration file editing is now optional), the
