Describe the issue

I have a library of about 25000 songs and have built an i5 Intel NUC as my roon core. I noticed that when I shuffle my entire library, it only queues up 5000 songs. Why does it not shuffle the entire library? Isn't an i5 with 16GB memory and a 128GB flash drive enough horsepower? If I upgraded to an i7, would that make a difference or is this a limitation that affects all systems? Thank you!

Describe your network setup

I have a Netgear Orbi router and my roon core is hardwired with gigabit ethernet.

Hi @Grover_Inks,

Thank you for your post. Roon does shuffle the entire library, but only queues the first ~5000 tracks to prevent queue bloat from slowing performance.

If you’d like a deeper explanation, please see here:

There’s also a feature request to which you can add your voice/vote: Shuffle still limited to 5000
