Hello, Is the library radio meant to play random tracks from your library? I’ve found it plays the same few artists a lot. Possibly new music has a higher weight compared to other stuff? As the new albums I have seem to always be played. I can already see my new music listed in the app. I use the library radio as I’m sick of these new albums already and there is no way to browse my library. I find I don’t really use the search feature as I’m too lazy to think of a album/artist to search for. Hopefully the radio feature will be improved soon. Many thanks ---

Library Radio picks artists randomly (or at least that’s what it was designed to do). How many total albums are in your library, and maybe post some `Radio:`-prefixed logs? ---

It’s possible; we’re replied to threads on the topic before and checked our randomization algorithm, which seems like it should be truly random (which again, can lead to patterns which appear non-random). If anyone can provide concrete evidence that on some platforms, the randomness isn’t working, I’m all ears! ---

I mean, rarely do things start working randomly (pun intended), so I’ll just assume some god of music intervened and all is well now :lol: ---
