XMMS Real Random plugin overrides the builtin shuffle mode and plays the titles in a more random way.

The shuffle mode of xmms is not as I expected it. So I created this plugin.

For using this plugin, the plugin has to be loaded by xmms and the shuffle mode of xmms has to be "on".

The plugin becomes active if you are playing a song for a while. If this song ended it jumps to a random position within the playlist.

Requirements:
XMMS

Installation:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute 'configure' itself.

Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make' to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package.

4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
