[emms-help] [PATCH] Play tracks randomly

Post by Daimrod
Hello,
I've attached a small patch which adds `emms-toggle-random-playlist'. It
sets `emms-player-next-function' to either `emms-next-noerror' or
`emms-random'.

How is this different from running M-x emms-shuffle on the playlist?

I agree they're close, but this one doesn't shuffle the playlist and it
persists when the playlist is changed.

I certainly have no problem with it; I was just making sure you were
aware of emms-shuffle.

If Lucas is fine with installing it (I don't think it needs assignment
papers) I would ask that you please also send in a patch to the manual
documenting this change.

I have already made a copyright assignment for Emacs and I have no
problem to do it for EMMS if it is required.

I've attached the patch with the documentation.

I'd say it's small enough to fly below the copyright papers radar :)

Thanks for your patch!

Oops, there is a small typo in the patch, here is the fix. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
