Version: Trevor's Music Mixer 1.0.20
"If only Windows Media Player took up this little space"
Pros: This program is good because it's easy to use, but more importantly, it takes up very little space (Around 3000 k normally)
It doesn't screw around with skins or "optimum sound", it just gives you what you want- your music.
Easy installation and simple operation of this program makes it user friendly, even for someone who knows very little about computers.
Cons: There have been a few glitches so far.
Beware getting over zealous and clicking the random button too fast- the program will give you an error message and refuse to play the media until you reopen the program. Also, on randomize, Music Mixer seems to get into loops sometimes and will play the same song several times while some are neglected and rarely played.
One more glitch: Try to avoid attempting to play any other kinds of files besides media. I accidentally tried to make it play an .exe, and the program shut down. When I reopened it, all the buttons lacked labels. Only when I restarted did it fix itself.
None of the glitches have been major, but annoying anyways.

It's finally fixed. Version 1.0.22 Will have the new fix. Now if it can't change the song, it simply ignores your click.
New version expected to be released August 15th or 16th. To always have the most up-to-date versions. Always download from the offical Trevor's Archives website.

I fixed your problem with the hitting the randomize button crazy like. The problem occured when you attempted to play a new song while the old one was still loading. It will not try about 100 times, and if it still fails, it will give up and ignore the function until the next time you click it. This error can also occure at the follwing points:
When skipping songs (while play is activated)
Rapidly changing playlists (while playing one at the time)
on the Randomize button (again while playing songs as you change them)
Rapidly hitting the Play/Pause button, (you would have to do this twice as fast as you do with the randomize and skip buttons)
Rapidly changing songs from the playlist view.
The error, plays same song over and over, I checked it over and over, it is already coded to never play the same song twice in a row, anything else is just luck.
And finally, the loading of an EXE. I tried this several times (including in beta versions), every time TMM detects that it cannot play it, and gives up. The fact that you had to restart your computer afterwards may mean a problem beyond TMM.
I will create an update later on in the week. For the most current version, always check my website.

I will look into these glitches you mentioned by attempting to reproduce them. Thank you for leaving such a detailed review. Also, I have thought about this, and your mention of it may play the song twice, is because it is completely random, and even in a choice of 5 songs, the number 3 song has a 1 in 5 chance. I will look into preventing this from happening in the future.
