How do i shuffle my songs

[ronie]

hit the 'random' button on the music osd.

Sorry for being a XBMC noob. But what is "music osd"? When I'm on my music entry in the main menu I can't see "random". Neither can I, when I'm in the music section.

I wonder how to shuffle my entire music collection.

Osd is the on screen display. So when playing music there should be a shuffle button when you bring up the osd with the centre button in the ATV remote.

Thx for your reply. And how'd I do shuffle on the desktop?

[Horscht]

when you're in the playlist, bring up the op up bar on the left, select "shuffle"

PS: i recall seing skins that show player controls on the home screen while music is playing, including shuffle and repeat

Hey Horscht. Thanks for pointing this out. Guess they call it "Party mode" in v11 Eden. Works great.

[Horscht]

hm.... no, party mode is actually something different, but it's what I always use.

If you have created a playlist by queueing songs into it (I am not sure how to do that with an apple remote, though), you have the option to shuffle that particular playlist.

Party Mode simply takes your library, selects 10 songs and plays them. When a song is finished or skipped, that song will be removed from the playlist and another one drops in. It's the mode i use most of the time to listen to music

PS: Party Mode has been in XBMC at least since Atlantis

For queueing songs with the apple remote just select the song or folder and hold the menu button for getting into the context menu. Then "add to queue" or something like that...
