434 | Q53: How does the shuffle work? | ||
435 | A53: It sees the playlist as a deck of cards, shuffling the entries using a | ||
436 | pseudo-random generator called the Mersenne Twister. After shuffling, | ||
437 | the list is never changed again until you reshuffle the list, by | ||
438 | stopping the playback and restarting. If the repeat mode is enabled, | ||
439 | the list will simply start over from the first file again, without | ||
440 | reshuffling. | ||
441 | The random seed is stored in the persistent setting area, so that the | ||
442 | resume feature can shuffle the playlist in exactly the same way when | ||
443 | resuming. | ||
