I generally like Windows Media Player because it not only plays all my
MP3 but videos, etc and helps me keep track and organize them. Recently
I got an SB Audigy and also a Nomad MuVo MP3 player. Now with that came
software but it only really handles music files and doesn't do some of
the things I liked with Windows Media Player such as get album
information, etc. But one thing SB's Media Player does that was nice is
allow me to create what they call a Smart Playlist where I could not
only limit the size (my MuVo player holds only 256 Meg) but also fills
it randomly. This way I can select that playlist and get 256 Meg of
randomly selected music from my library (I could also put other criteria
on there like songs that I rate 4 or higher). If I selected this Smart
Playlist again I would get another set of randomly selected songs
limited to 265 Meg.
I'm looking for how to do this with Windows Media Player. I can create
an Auto Playlist and limit it to 256 Meg but I cannot get it to fill the
list by taking a random sampling of my music library. IOW everytime I
select this Auto Playlist I get the same set of songs.
Is there any way to get Window Media Player to continue to re-fill this
Auto Playlist?
