      Hello I am a new Strawberry user and overall it is working very well for me, but I have one problem and I suspect maybe I have a setting wrong somewhere.

      We just add all our music collection to a playlist and the remove the tracks we don't want in the rotation. The playlist is 135 days in length, so quite a big collection. The issue we are having is Strawberry plays some of the same tracks the next day and does not remove played tracks.

      I guess it could be truly random and still play the same track the next day if it does not remove the track played from rotation.

      Is there a setting I should be looking at, or is this expected behaviour.

      Thanks, Gerry

        @oldwood I have noticed the same behavior. I load my list and then shuffle the list and let it play through.

          I shuffle the playlist also and it still happens. It seems the next day it plays some of the same songs.

          Strange but no a showstopper, I like Strawberry otherwise.

            @oldwood I snd set it to loop (repeat playlist) this way, a track gets played once per loop.

            I'm pretty sure I remember haven this issue with Clementine too.

              My playlist is 137 days long, so if I hear a song every 137 days, I am good with that 😉

              I will enable loop to see if that helps.

              Thanks,
              Gerry

                I'm aware of the issue. The shuffle mode is somewhat broken.
                Bug report here: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/707
                I will look more into it at some point.
