Play Lists and Jukeboxes
Whenever you want to create a ‘play all’ situation you are in fact making a specific type of play list. You can adapt these to be user selected play lists, which we call a ‘jukebox’. There are limits to what can be achieved in a jukebox in terms of the number of choices that can be picked from the total number of clips, and there are always trade-offs to be made.
Here are some files to help get you underway with this concept. All involve ‘bit shifting’ at some level. At least one allows the user to select the clips to play and then randomises the order that they play back in.
