About

RND Shuffle

Features
Read full description

Built by a jazz musician with too much music. The Problem: Standard shuffle lies to you. Ask Siri to "play some music" or hit shuffle in Apple Music, and you'll hear the same familiar tracks over and over. If you've got a big library, that's a waste. The Solution: RND Shuffle uses cryptographic randomization to generate playlists that actually feel random. You'll rediscover albums you forgot you owned. Features • Create custom categories by combining artists and genres — like "Jazz Piano" or "Workout Mix" • Exclude what you don't want — for example, 'no spoken word' or 'meditation' tracks in your music shuffle • CarPlay support for quick access while driving • Works with your existing Apple Music library RND Shuffle is free with no ads, no tracking, and no in-app purchases.  The source code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/benday-inc/AppleMusicPlaylistManager
