Shaken/ Not Stirred

Shaken, Not Stirred is for shuffling large playlists that have multiple entries of songs you want to hear more often than others. Beyond just shuffling a playlist's songs in a random order, it adds jukebox style options for managing the separation between repetitions of the same song: evenly distributed with some random variation, or just enforce a minimum separation. With even distribution, a song that is in the playlist say 4 times, would play at one random place in each quarter of the shuffled playlist.

The idea is like listening to a good radio station: the next song could be any one of a few hundred different songs, and your favorite songs get played often, while there are other songs that you like to hear only occasionally.

With other programs' ordinary shuffle on a playlist that has repetitions of some songs, those songs would of course play more often. Unfortunately, normal random variation would sometimes put most or all the occurrences of a repeated song close together, even playing the same song twice in a row, with other long stretches of the playlist where you never hear the song. This program was written to solve that problem.

It can shuffle playlists created in Windows Media Player's default .wpl format or in the widely used .m3u format.

The program also has an added utility for batch copying album art files to your MP3 player (only useful for players that don't handle it correctly during sync).

Updated in v1.1:
Bug fix for occasional crashes shuffling playlists with all songs repeated.
Added option in Album Art Copy to hide album art files usually not copied.
