The information you are most likely looking for is a bit down the tree, so the heres the url: http://rockbox.haxx.se/manual/rec-general.html + +Q53: How does the shuffle work? +A53: It sees the playlist as a deck of cards, shuffling the entries using a + pseudo-random generator called the Mersenne Twister. After shuffling, + the list is never changed again until you reshuffle the list, by + stopping the playback and restarting. If the repeat mode is enabled, + the list will simply start over from the first file again, without + reshuffling. + The random seed is stored in the persistent setting area, so that the + resume feature can shuffle the playlist in exactly the same way when + resuming. |
