I've settled with foobar2000. It's not as eye-catching, but it shuffles my playback list, something i couldn't get XMPlay to do. (If it does it, it's not intuitive.)

Plus, i hate the whole concept of separate playlists/libraries. with an additional "queue". With foobar, i can create one list of music and it will play it. I don't hafta worry about a main "library" which doesn't really add to anything. I can easily create a new tab with foobar for each list of music i want to play. And it's intuitive.

I've yet to explore layouts and plug-ins. But as long as it's EASILY functional, i'm on it...

Well, there are actually two ways to shuffle your playlist in XMPlay: Either shuffling the the actual entries or just playing them randomly. And there are buttons for that on the skin and in the settings. JSYK.

So far I just worked with a playlist of an album. Now I tried the library concept of XMPlay, and I must say, I'm not enthousiastic about it, and wouldn't use it. But, unlike others maybe, I don't have to manage thousands of files. And the data in the library fields depends on whether the ID3 tags are filled in or not.

I only use the library to store author / song title information of module files anyway.

I use the library to see when I played a file and to search for them

Best thing is that it stores a history at all times even when you cleared the playlist so you can quickly re-add some to the playlist.

I'm using last.fm for that.
