    Default Play Random Album

    Would be a nice feature for when I just can't decide what to listen to from my MP3 collection

    It could choose random albums from entire collection or whatever filtered list of albums is displayed.

    Thanks,

    I have a workaround for you.

    The OrangeCD start page shows the tip of the day. The tips are stored in a file called "tips.txt" in the templates directory (within the directory where you installed OrangeCD). Every tip starts on a new line of the file, and a random tip is selected whenever you open OrangeCD.

    I did an export of my entire collection (composer and title) to a txt file, named it tips.txt, and put it in the templates directory--now whenever I open OrangeCD, I see a random album in the "tips" section. (You can then also modify the theme so that instead of "Tip of the Day," the section is called "Album of the Day.")

    That is neat and works pretty well.
