The XMMS Real Random plugin enhances the shuffle feature, providing a more randomized way of playing titles. It overrides the built-in functionality and delivers an improved, unique listening experience.
I recently tried out the XMMS Real Random plugin and found it to be a useful addition to my music player. The plugin improves on the built-in shuffle mode by playing titles in a truly random way. Initially, I was disappointed with the default shuffle mode of XMMS, which led me to seek out this plugin.
To use the Real Random plugin, you need to load it into XMMS and ensure that the shuffle mode of the player is turned on. Once a song has been playing for a while, the plugin becomes active and jumps to a random position within your playlist once the song has finished.
Installation of the plugin is straightforward - simply enter the directory containing the source code and run the `./configure` command. This will configure the package for your system, taking some time to check for the necessary features. From there, running `make` will compile the package, and you can optionally run self-tests (`make check`) before installing the plugin with `make install`.
Overall, the XMMS Real Random plugin offers a significant improvement on the basic shuffle mode of XMMS. If you're a fan of shuffled playlists and want a more random playback experience, this plugin is definitely worth checking out.
