How do you play a folder without repeats?

tci2012 · 15th December 2005, 03:54

I have about 500 mp3 files in a folder that I play while I'm at work. Is it possible to play all mp3's in this folder without repeating any files until all have been played? Winamp seems to play the same 75 or so songs all the time - throwing the rest in randomly. Can anyone help...thanks

Turn off shuffle and play them straight.

I want them to play randomly, not in alphabetical order. If I turn off shuttle, they'll play in alphabetical order. How do you play randomly and not repeat?

In the Playlist Edior:
Misc > Sort > Randomize List

Is that under preferences? Will that not repeat files that have already been played? thanks

No, it's in the playlist editor.
It will randomize the playlist, and then play the playlist in the order it randomized it to.
