Title: Play all tracks of a folder and its subfolders
Post by: Mate M. on March 11, 2024, 10:01:56

I would like to play audio files from my hard disk in random order, but always see which track was played i.e. half an hour ago (see all predecessors of the current track in the playlist). How can I play the audio files from a folder in random order (select folder --> play + activate shuffle mode), and the the playlist sort the audio files in this random order?

I have only managed to play the audio files of a folder ad-hoc and shuffled. But the right area of AIMP displays all tracks in alphabetical order in the current playlist.

So, I can't see which tracks were played before.

Sure, its correct behavior. If you want to shuffle the list, use "randomize" option from the sort by menu

Hey Artem,

thanks a lot for your rapid response. Where do I finde the "randomize" option?
Or is it a better idea to create a new playlist / smart playlist, which can be sorted randomly oder alphabetically?

Hello Artem,

If I play local music files from a folder, I cannot sort (randomize) the list:

What do you recommend? Should I always create a Playlist or a Smart Playlist first from the desired music tracks, which then can be played "randomly"? How do you use AIMP to play music?
