The issue is that these tracks appear 5 or so times in the randomization but they are being alphabetically sorted together by n-stream, there is an option 'upnp compatibility' if enabled it will not sort the random list.

Re: Jukebox random repeats the same track

I don't mind the alphabetical sorting so much as I can shuffle play and this won't be a factor it is the issue that the same song shows up so many times in a random selection of 100 tracks I would've hoped that it would be a unique set.

Choosing the upnp compatibility mode you suggest takes away my ability to play queue at use playlists which is not desirable.

Can you make your random a little less random not to include duplicates?
