Hi Andy,

This has been fixed, but may not be in any _released_ versions yet...

The problem was I was only seeding the random number generator at xplrionet
startup

The fixed version re-seeds it (from system ticks) every time random is
selected, so is now properly random

I have a wireless switch in the bathroom that triggers the queuing/playing
of a dozen albums in random mode (via xplhal) and, as you say, it was
always
the 'same' random tracks (if that's not an oxy-moron) when I switched it
off/on. The new version always gives me properly random tracks if I switch
it off/on.

Regards
Tony
