Just wondering if something like this is possible?

The benefit of this would be that people coming to a site with a
player installed as a widget play all track evenly.
If its the same series again and again, the play counts wouldn't
reflect the value of the songs, especially the more you have.
I could point the player to a set instead of my profile page but this
would be a hassle to change all the time.

Could be a useful feature for the player?

Thanks,
Marc

Hi Marc,

evenly distribute the plays is a good intention. As far as I know,
this is not implemented in the custom player yet. I think we do not
have the time to do this at the moment, but I have added this to the
backlog. Or maybe you want to fork the custom player from GitHub,
implemented this and we merge it back? That would be most-awesome :)

Not that good at this stuff yet :-)
I might be able to do it, but I don't know the 'best practice' method
of doing it yet.

I'll give it a try.
