Could someone inform us on this availability of these options. I would seriously enjoy the option to randomize a playlist by albums rather than single tracks.

No change will be made at this time. We're trying to release MC11.

Most, if not all, of those requests can be achieved by using smarlists. Do a search in the forum to find some examples.
For instance:
[media type]=[audio] ~sort=[Random] ~n=5 ~a ~sort=[Random] ~sort=[Album] ~a -[Album]=[]
plays n.5 complete random albums (change the value in n= to play n albums)
You can tweak the expressions to achieve almost what you want.
Hope it helps.

Every one of those can be done using smartlists.
This is another example of why a sticky thread with various smartlists already setup would be extremely helpful for new users.
I am not on my MC comp. at the moment but I will update this post with the actual expressions in a little bit.
