Shuffle all music and play all music doesn't seem to work

#1

Now, in Loop on my iPhone if I choose shuffle all music or play all music it seems to only play music from the first few albums in Loop. This was working properly a couple of weeks ago and now it isn't. After choosing shuffle all, for example, I can go in and look at the list of upcoming songs it is going to play and it is all from the first few albums in Loop.

Hi there!

We're aware of this and it will be fixed within a couple of updates.

Thanks for your understanding on this matter!

Thank you! I'll look for the fix in the next updates.

Has this been fixed yet? Or am I doing something wrong? My experience is the same as the OP: it worked for a long time and then it stopped. This is critical to my enjoyment of listening to music with Vox.

Richard,

I talked to Loop devs and here's what current state is:
Loop library track list is loading to Your iDevice gradually, because it would take too long to load the whole library list at once, especially on some 150K+ track libs.
One of ways Loop requests each album's tracks list is when You open Album or Artist for the first time, You can see this in Library by going into Loop album view and seeing tracks gradually appear as they are retrieved from server (I suppose here iDevice is connected to internet)

Vox can only add to queue tracks that it has notion of, therefore, albums You want included in "Play All" or "Shuffle All" actions have to be opened at least once on Your iDevice. If You prefer artist view, then You should open each artist You want in Your "Play/Shuffle all" queue.

You may ask me, do I find it handy?, and my answer is, well, no. We are continuing work to improve this. This decision was not easy but it currently makes Loop more stable on large libs.

Tell me if I can be of any further help!

By "opening" album or artist I mean tapping on Album/artist artwork in the Library view to see it's track list.

soundguy,
to say this process is unhandy might be the understatement of the year.  That being said, it seems to work.  How often might one have to do this in order to keep shuffling correctly?  It would be handy if there was a way to sort by 'recently added'(as far as I know one cannot on the iOS version of Vox), so the album could be 'opened' shortly after it is added to loop.

thanks

Richard, thank You for Your fair statement. We all read this and make our homework, though, not as fast as You would want.
