Or the flow of the album just demands that the next track on the album be
played. Single tracks are fine for the vast majority of songs and I have xmms
randomize them; this typically works well and gives a nice variety. But
there's quite a few albums where the tracks should be played as they were on
the album. (Who'd of thunk it that some bands would nail that "album thing"
and not just see it as a way of pricing music more expensively.)
Since you mentioned Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon is one such album --
it just isn't "normal" to go from a track on that album and to have xmms
randomize in The Offspring or something else as the next track. There's a
couple of spots on Dark Side of the Moon where one could cut to something
different, but the work is best played in its entirety.
Thanks to all that responded; I'll play around with cat and see how that
works.
