Description

Problem Description

If you have listened to a playlist a lot. It starts becoming repetitive and boring.

Proposed Solution

In YouTube there's a feature that allows you to automatically start a playlist in a random order. I don't mean just random video from the playlist I mean every video of the playlist are randomized and then every video queued. I would like this feature also by simpmusic.

This helps because you'll not get the videos in the exact order you've heard 20 times and the first videos stop becoming videos you always skip

Alternative Solutions

I don't think there's a better way. The random video doesn't really help because you might end up starting by the last video and boom the playlist is already finished.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Locate the playlist playback and queue handling first; done means starting a playlist creates a randomized order containing every video once, rather than selecting only one random video.
