With a very catchy and somewhat appropriate name, Shaken, not stirred is a tiny piece of software that offers you the necessary means for generating random, thoroughly shuffled playlists for your phone of other audio players.

It does its magic based on your one to five-star ratings within Windows Media Player. Mind you, users who don't use Windows Media Player version 12, can also benefit from everything this app has to offer by undergoing a few additional steps, neatly described in the app's top notch documentation section.

What's more, the app also comes with a comprehensive guide or tutorial on how to efficiently learn a few Windows Media Player basics.

Your random playlists can be created in WPL format (which works well with Android and Windows phones, as well as other MP3 players) and M3U which is an Apple-specific format.

Once installed, you will notice a compact and no fuss, no muss user interface, with two self-explanatory sections such as Jukebox Custom Shuffle and Copy Album Art to Player.

The whole playlist generation procedure is fairly straightforward, as well. Start off by adding a song group and choose which songs should be included in the shuffle and how many times per cycle a song from the above section should be played. Besides the frequency, you can also choose to exclude various songs from your playlists.

Now that you have a wide variety of songs in your playlist, you can click the "Save as Shuffled Playlist" and have your playlists ready in the aforementioned formats.

Shaken, not stirred is a very interesting and efficient application that won't appeal to an extremely broad range of users out there.

That does not make it any less good, though, since it's not only one of the few apps that can help you create randomly shuffled playlists for your phones or audio players, but it's also quite easy to install and use, not to mention the fact that it's very well-documented.

What's new in Shaken, not Stirred 3.3:

  • Added option: Global limit of play frequency, to override any song's higher frequency from sum of multiple Song Groups selected.
  • Added option: Playlists have relative paths, enabling directory sync of music files for Android phones, as alternative to phone's sync app. (Maybe iPhones too, but not tested)
  • Bug fix: Some settings with the portable/manual installation were still saved in the user's AppData folder.
  • Minor wording and appearance changes in some windows.
