Yes; it's done that to me too. This is an effect of having all the music you love instantly accessible, of course.
It reminds me of an idea I had a while back where you could press a button on the remote (e.g "Mark" thrice in quick succession) and then enter a number between 1 and 9, and the empeg would remember that as your liking for the link between the previous song and the current. This would combine with a random setting that would favour progressions of songs of which you liked the linking. (That sentence doesn't look right, but I've tried and failed to rephrase it - do you get what I mean?) You could also set this in emplode so that you could tell the empeg that you always preferred to link together an album like Dark Side Of The Moon (set join preference 9 on all but the last song).
When is the 'times skipped' number going to be implemented? Or is it working in 3.0 and I just haven't been brave enough to upgrade from 2.0? My plan is to weed out the songs I don't like by deliberately skipping over them, and then finding the songs I consistently skip over and permanently delete them. I don't yet know enough about programming the shuffle settings in the config.ini to know how to make it prefer songs that I haven't skipped over, though...
Just thinking the thoughts,
Paul
