New page

[[wikipedia:Amarok|Amarok]] is a fancy music player for [[KDE]].

Due to unfamous [[KDE]]'s policy to rewrite the whole system from scratch every few years, there is a currious situation - after each upgrade you find out that new versions of your favourite applications are missing some functionality that you were using a lot. The same situation happened to me with [[Amarok]] 2 and I reported it as a bug [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203727 203727].

I was missing an easy way to randomize the playlist. It is essential, I always pick few albums drag'n'drop them to the playlist, then randomize all the songs, look at the order, polish it a bit and then play them all.

It turned out (while discussing [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203727 203727]), that some sort of randomize functionality is there (but hidden by some extra complex and secret UI). I was using it for few months, but never was really satisfied (I could not do the manual polishing after the re-shuffling). Today I told myself - enough and wrote an extension in [[Javascript]] that adds the shuffle action to the Tools menu.

If you ever missed the shuffle functionality, don't wait anymore and download the extension here:
