I have updated the code for AuraGem Public Radio so that there's less repeats for most genres (some genres like World have less songs atm, so they will have repeats more often).
The radio keeps track of which songs have already played up to the max number of songs for that genre. Then, when it reaches max, it will pop from the front of a queue about 1/4th of the songs on the list. Poping off a quarter of the queue allows the next songs to be re-randomized from those songs. This system also makes sure that when the max is reached, the next songs are always the songs that were played the longest time ago (because that's how queues work).

Good stuff! A gemini media player sounds nice. For mobile f-droid is official enough I reckon. But a lot to learn still I assume... but mobile is where my headphones are.

@johan Yeah, I was thinking about creating a gemini media player for mobile, but it's a ton of work. You could try expressing interest in getting music streaming working for mobile to the creators of the two main browsers that work on Android: @skyjake (Lagrange) and @Addison (Rosy Crow). I think currently the effort in getting it to work outweighs the perceived interest.
yeah, totally understand that! I think I duped that ticket in the Lagrange issue tracker a while back :) I wonder though if something can be done with Termux. Will have a go when I have time
