Need: Sorted list and random play except with enqueued files
 

Ok first of all let me just say I did look at all the FAQs/Troubleshooting/Read-This-First stuff before posting.

This is kind of a minor inconvenience so I wouldn't think there'd be much about it. Also it's only a preference discrepancy so I didn't figure a HijackThis log was required. ;]

Anyway here's what I am trying to accomplish:

1) I want my list sorted by my sorting method of choice.
2) I want my list to play completely randomly (i.e. prefereably actually random, not shuffled because of the "age old shuffle problem").
3) I want the random function to turn off when I have songs enqueued and back on when all the songs on the enqueued list are played.

Currently, I have the following problems:
1) If shuffle is on, it overrides the enqueued songs list and plays a song from anywhere on the playlist.
2) If I randomize the list (to avoid problem 1) the list is not in any kind of comprehensible order.

If there is a topic that solves this entire problem, please leave a link to it. If there is a plugin that solves this entire problem, please leave a link to it. If you know how to completely solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate the knowledge.

Please don't give me a fix that only solves part of the problem or nothing will really be solved and your post will be in vain.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm. It really doesn't seem like this should be complicated. Go figure.

I got a bit confused about this part:
'Enqueued songs'...
Are you referring to the enqueue function of the Extended Jump to File plugin? (press J to show the JTF dialog)
If so, I don't quite see how shuffle would override that enqueue list... For me, enqueued songs are played first, no matter whether shuffle is enabled or not.

Yes I was referring to the enqueue function of the JTF dialog. Well, apparently you are right. I just tried it out and the enqueued list is indeed playing first. I could have sworn that it didn't however, at the time I posted last.

So I guess that point is no longer valid. However accomplishments 1 and 2 of the original post are still currently impossible simultaneously to my knowledge.

funnily enough that's the whole point of me creating a function which is random.

i'm not sure quite what else you're trying to request from the other parts of your post since it seems to be duplicating itself
