Music playing method and apparatus, and intelligent terminal

The disclosure relates to a music playing method and apparatus, and an intelligent terminal. The method comprises determining a corresponding value interval to each song in an alternative song library based on user preferences; determining and taking an interval of the corresponding value interval to each song as a selection interval, and randomly generating a random value for song selection in the selection interval; and detecting a value interval matching the random value, determining the value interval as a target interval, and playing corresponding songs to the target interval. The disclosure achieves random music playing satisfying the user preferences.
