About a week or so ago, everytime I shuffle my library of songs, 35000 songs, the same 5 songs always come up first. In random order, but always the same 5 songs. I have no idea why. There is nothing special about these songs. They have no star ratings and their play history isn’t more than any othe…

[image] anon18523487: If I shuffle just 1 artist, then I do see that the popular tracks are being pushed to the top. I’ll need to check if that’s intended at the artist level. I was shuffling my entire library, 35,000+ songs. Same 5 songs came up first every single time. Once I skipped passed…

I am NOT using Plex Music. I am using Local Metadata. I have Popular Tracks Disabled. My Blues Library has 39 Artists in it - 3 or 4 of those had Popular Tracks when the trouble started. The Artist with Popular tracks was shoved down my throat and the tracks didn’t necessarily come from the Popul…

Here’s something y’all could try, particularly for music: Edit the https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105343-advanced-hidden-server-settings/ create a new item, if not already listed: RadioDaysSinceLastPlayed Assign it a numerical value for how many days a track in a playlist or radio will be so…

That’s interesting. I cured the problem by Plex Dancing those popular tracks right out of my hair. Normal/Random Shuffle Restored. Another hour replacing Artist Thumbs/Bios and the mission will be complete - made easier by a random shuffle in the background.

so yeah, I keep getting the same like 30 songs at the top of the shuffle list and it’s getting a little old. can this get fixed?
