With the tag shuffle you get a playlist you can listen to without having to rearrange it after shuffling. Command-click the tag-shuffle button to configure the tag order.
Noob Music also lets you shuffle without tag-shuffling if you have not assigned tags to your songs or you just want a totally random playlist. Noob Music uses NumRand a random number generator based on chaotic motion for the best random result. Because the randomisation method is complex it takes some time to shuffle large playlists.
You must choose the library folder(s) in the Settings section. And then index the folder(s). Music information is read from song when playing a song. Songs that don't contain information can be edited manually. Noob Music lets you create playlists and drag and drop songs to your playlist you can also drag and drop a playlist onto another playlist.

Comparison to Noob TV
Noob Media Center has many benefits over Noob TV and Noob Player for example never needing to generate playlist files, instead Media Center continuously plays back the playlist template. Another benefit is the addition of multiple library locations to Noob Cinema.Noob Media Center uses VLCKit and thus plays multiple formats
This app uses library folders with media. For tv shows, this app expects library folders to have direct descendants of the library folder to contain a tv show containing any number of video files or folders containing video files. Or a group of tv shows which will be grouped together when used in playlist templates. For example if you have a tv show which is a direct sequel to another show and you want those shows to be considered as a sequential series they should be contained in the same folder. Note that for shows that will be played in sequence the alphabetical ordering is used from the file system so shows should be named or numbered in ways so that they are in correct order. For example, episode 1, episode 2,... episode 11 will not be ordered correctly because alphabetically episode 11 will come after episode 1 however S01E01, S01E02 is correct when ordered alphabetically. If you want more control over your library without changing folder structure to this format you may want to consider using NoobM3U instead, which has more flexilibity.
Getting started
Noob Media Center has a user interface designed in an overlay-style, all modules of the app can be toggled to make them visible or hide them. Buttons will display their functionality when hovering the mouse over them.Opening media
Simply opening media without any library functionality can be acomplished by dragging and dropping media files onto the player.Opening and closing tabs
The tab bar is visible when hovering the mouse above the player while the application is active, you can open a tab by pressing the plus-icon in the upper-left corner of the screen. The X-icon will close the currently open tab. You can also drag and drop tabs to reorder them.Holding down command and clicking a tab will detach that tab from the main window into its own window.
Media-input-tab
Holding down command and clicking the plus icon will open a new media-input-tab. Which will play back from connected physical input devices or your camera. You can change the media input device in settings.The global-pause button
The pause button to the right of the search bar is used to toggle the global-pause functionality. When it is off playback is unaffected. When it is on the app will automatically pause tabs when switching from the tab to a new tab. That way you wont miss anything.Tab overview / View all screens / Picture in Picture
The buttons to the right of the global pause button enable you to view all screens at the same time and picture and picture, respectively.History
The history button will diplay the playback history for all tabs.The playlist-queue
The playlist queue is different for each tab and will allow you to reorder playlist items. Here generated playlist items will appear. You can delete a playlist item by dragging it from the playlist queue and dropping it on the button for closing tabs. A garbage-tin will appear when dragging to indicate where you can drop to delete the item from playback.The remove button
The remove button in the main interface will toggle an item and remove it from the playback rotation, this way you can eliminate unwanted content from playback, without having to reorder or removing files from the filsystem. You can always enable the items within the library views.Autoplaylist
Noob Media Center gives you automatic playback control using the Autoplaylist feature, which uses a method which creates a lightweight representation for visaul comparison. Which results in gradual playlist transitions. To start an autoplaylist you must open the TV part of the app and there you can click the Auto-Playlist button, the app will remember each choice for autoplaylist per tab index. You can choose a source for autoplaylist for example a playlist template(s) which you have populated with TV shows you want to play in a tab togheter. You can also skip selecting a source and use the entire library as a source.
Playlist Templates
Playlist templates is a core part of the app, this feature gives you the ability to create templates which you can generate "playlists" or rather playlist queue items from. Playlist templates give you the option to play a template item in sequence or at random, you can also choose wether you want to consider play counts (resulting in not repeating episodes per iteration cycle) or ignore play counts. You can also select playback for only episodes with no play count.
Smart Playlist Templates
Smart playlist templates give you the option to generalize a playlist template to create infinite variations on a playlist, based on having added color-tags to your tv shows items. Which is based on the assumption that transitions between shows in the playlist can be reflected in a general pattern based on the color connections. You can manually create a smart template and / or edit the template's color connections.
