Is this an intended behaviour, that after you play the last song in Playing Now, it shuffles everything before stopping? It's not a biggie and there's probably a setting for it somewhere (where?) but it feels weird

Thanks!

No.  Is shuffle on?  Check the little icons in the upper right corner.

Hi Jim, thanks for your reply!
Yes, shuffle is on, it doesn't happen when it's off.

I did some more tests and it's reproducible:
- Add a few songs to playing now
- Turn on shuffle
- Play the last song and skip to near the end
= When the song stops, Playing now shuffles

Thanks!  I can reproduce it.  I'll investigate and follow-up later.

It looks like it's by design.

Here's the code comment:
// shuffle if we just played the last track and we're in shuffle mode

I guess we figure since it's in shuffle, it makes sense to reshuffle after the last track.

I don't have a strong opinion.  Anybody else care to vote?

Thanks.

I think it only makes sense if it is going to continue playing. Shuffling and then Stopping is dumb (and erases the playlist that just played, which I use sometimes to go back and find out what song played that I liked 3 songs ago).

So, I'd say do that, but only if Continuous Mode is also enabled, such that reshuffling will actually, you know, accomplish something.

I don't have a strong opinion either, but:

(and erases the playlist that just played, which I use sometimes to go back and find out what song played that I liked 3 songs ago)

This I completely agree on, actually what made me react

Next build:
Changed: The shuffle at the end of the playlist when shuffle mode is on will only fire if playback is set to advance to the first track again.

Thanks Matt!
