'Random play' keeps playing the same song twice in a row

I realise that people often mistakenly think that, given a completely random play order, the same track shouldn’t come up twice in a row - and, while I understand this can and will happen, I can’t help but think that to hear the same track being played twice in a row, four times during a sequence of fifteen tracks in a single listening session (out of around 2500 tracks) indicates the randomness isn’t working as it should in Roon.

Anyone had similar experiences? Perhaps Apple is right to make their play sequences ‘less random’ in order to prevent this!

Hi Jeremy,

Revision of the Radio algorithm to avoid exactly this kind of repetition (among other things) is currently under development. I think I can say such development is “well advanced”.

Thanks, Andy, that’s good to know :slight_smile:
