I have thousands of songs and every media player I put on shuffle mode sucks. I have enough songs to never hear the same song twice in a month playing 24/7 but every player I have tried is lucky to make it a night without playing the same dam song twice.. Looking for a windows player and also a android player.. have tried vlc, winamp, windows media player this and that over the years .. need multi formats.
VLC still rocks. Try it again. Simple, free, cross platform. I don't think the VLC client on Android is quite mature enough yet to recommend. Windows, it should rock. -jim
I currently have been using vlc, but for the life of me it repeats the same song(s) every 4 for 5 hours,, some times over the weekends I hear the same some maybe 3 times but yet I have thousands that I never hear..
I hear what you are saying - but - if it is truly "random", the chances of playing the same song twice in a row are the same as playing a different song.
Not an android but my Ipod shuffle that I use to listen to music while swimming will do 90 minutes without a repeat. That's as long as I listen to it at one time.
Turn off the "continuous" mode. That way it's not always cycling back through, but instead playing everything once, then stopping when they're all done.
