Title: Random (Shuffled) Play
Post by: Dayta on August 15, 2016, 09:15:52 am
The problem I have is that in random (shuffled) play in the only play list I have, I noticed that out of 300 songs in the playlist, it only plays the same 30 to 40 songs. There are songs that have yet to be selected once. Is there a setting that I missed?  I assumed it would randomly select ALL the songs, not just a select few.

The autodj might have a problem with decoding some/most of your tracks. Checking your station's source.log should show more details about this.

Your tracks might be encoded in a format that the autodj can't decode (such as AAC), in which case the solution is to re-encode them in MP3 and re-upload them to the server.

Thank you Alexiu for replying,

I am sure they all are MP3 format but it won't hurt to go back and double check.

It could also simply mean that the files are damaged or otherwise invalid, as Alexiu mentioned, reviewing the log should reveal those details.
