I have also posted this to the OneAlex Discord

Got some questions for you guys concerning the GRAMAPHONE. First being the size of my GRAMAPHONE folder, it contains 630 selections or comsuming almost 1.5gb of space. When I load SHIII do all these selections load too ? Secondly, I believe I only hear the same 30 to 50 tunes over and over. I set SHCmdr to randomize my music and it does to a point. I'm not sure if Commander can randomizing 630 songs. Any input on this would help. If my hunch is right, I plan on breaking this list down to 50 song increments and jjust rotating then in and out. That way I'll hear all my music at some point

I figured it out. It took me a few hours. But the gramophone works as it should. If interested here's what I did :
Problem - Only a few of my 630 songs randomized via Commander would play. I was only hearing about 30-40 songs, over and over.
Solution - I actually listioned to every song (for about 5 sec) to make sure they played. Since I don't read German, I sorted all songs by size and then lenght to find doubles. I was able to delete 61 songs. I actually left the songs resorted. Started SHIII and my issue is gone.

That is in useful information. I am in GWX KC edition with no SH Commander to randomize so I have a bat file that I run before starting the game. I have just under a 100 I ported in from my SH5 game but will now copy the lost across.

I use your randomizer, It is just what the doctor ordered. Between your randomizer and my work to "thin the herd" of doubles, triples, and music that didn't fit the time peroid, I went from 630 to 560 tunes. All works perfectly now. I put in alot of play time and I need my music for the mood effect. I don't need to hear the same 30-40 or 50 songs over and over again. Thanx again for your RANDOMIZER.
