Hello,

Thank you so much for the fantastic View> Sort By> Randomize!

Wow, I love this option so much!

This is going to help me in my creative process of selecting sounds that surprise and delight me.

Very much appreciated!

And to be able to add a custom shortcut, just incredible!

I should have donated a long time ago for this wonderful free Everything search tool.

Everything search tool has helped so much along the way, it's amazing!

Thank you!

In that regard, IMO, & if you don't care about "meta data" (particularly), mpv.net media player is a great (media) player (with mpv.net being a GUI front-end to mpv) - that handles huge playlists really well (speedily).

Additionally, files dragged from Everything into mpv.net are loaded/played in the order they were listed in Everything.


(Long ago I created a huge randomized playlist, an actual .pls (or .m3u) - with the help of Everything (of course), that I've been playing for ages now, & will play for ages to come.)

frew: As a tip, you can bind the Randomize function to a keyboard shortcut (hotkey) like F6 to randomize your results with a simple button press. That's what I do, and I find myself using it all the time, especially for shuffling music or episodic television shows (eg: I Love Lucy). Just select the top 5 or 20 results and play.

Tools > Options > General > Keyboard > Show commands containing: Randomize
