Hi.

Bringing up an old thread here again, but anyway:

Regarding "custom" shuffle modes in 2.0b3, we were discussing the factor by which the time since the last play of a song is devided by, just before feeding the value to the shuffle calculation.

Peter wrote:
TIME is higher the longer a song is unplayed. It's 1/32 of the elapsed seconds since last play: 0 immediately a song is played; 18900 after a week; and 32767 after about twelve days, at which point it's clipped. (So anything you haven't heard for twelve days counts as "ages ago".)

Tony Fabris and myself agreed that the factor of 1/32 is a bit too low, because typically the biggest part of any empeg owner's collection will be at 32767 after the conversion above, which obsoletes the "least recently played" mode somehow.

Was this changed since beta3? Nothing regarding this problem is mentioned in the beta7 release notes.

cu,
