If you are anything like me, you like to just put something on shuffle and take off for a long bike ride without selecting songs. Well, now you can listen to my catalog on shuffle here: Dan Radio
On the development side of things, I took this opportunity to consolidate 3 unique players into a single component that can be used by multiple pages with varying contexts. Sometimes there is one song, sometimes there is a list. Sometimes we want to start with the first track, and other times we want a random selection. The player can go forward or back a track when that makes sense, and there is also a shuffle button. When these don't make sense the buttons just go away.
On each play, the song's play_count field is incremented, but only one time per load. We wouldn't want to count it again after pausing...
Happy shuffling! Maybe tomorrow I will start adding more songs.
