Did this ever get solved?

I am experiencing this behaviour in MM 3.2.4.1304 in shuffle mode:
I have a playlist with 259 songs.
Songs which have been played once or more already, are played again very often.
Songs which have been played zero times, are played only very, very occasionaly.
The shuffling mode does not work like it should: play *all files* first and then start over.
Bottomline: I keep hearing the same music over and over again!

(I don't press stop in between.)

Last time I checked on MediaMonkey 4 it played all files before repeating a file.

I'm using the Gold Version of MM v4.0 and I seem to be having a similar issue. I have media monkey scheduled to run every day and since it's been running for at least a week (I close it every night), there are at least a third of the songs that show a '0' under the "Played #" column. How is that possible? Had the same issue with version 3 and thought upgrading would correct it. I have shuffle enabled and auto-dj disabled.

Are you playing from the My Computer node? Only tracks played from the Library (one of the Collection nodes or Playlist node) will have their played data stored.

Have done the same observation. A playlist with 50 songs shows a least 10 songs with played 0 times and more than 10 songs shows playing 2 times or more.
Yes i´m using playlists nodes.
Using MM4 but this happend in MM3 also.

i made a playlist and this isn't truly random....some songs do repeat. is there a media player out there with a truly random feature that plays every song in a folder without repeating any?

Truly random means that there will be repeats. If you just want a shuffled list put your playlist into now playing, then right-click in the now playing area and click List > Randomize list.

I am experiencing this as well... despite of having a library of thousands of tracks, only the same 11 or 12 will get played continuously, independenty of having shuffle turned off or on

Sorry if something similar has been suggested, but I'm not going to read this entire thread to find out.

My suggestion is to create a Not Heard Recently playlist. Whatever rules you like plus Last Played > (Days Ago) 21 (or however many days you'd prefer.)

You can then use Auto-DJ to pull from this list.

Hi,
I would suggest that you Limit to 1 Track instead of size and Use simple Random Instead of Random Album and then compare results.
