as an addition to the current Shuffle options, which are track-oriented, I would love to see MC shuffle Albums (i.e. to play a randomly chosen Album after the current Album has finished). Would that be possible in a future build?
-
(meanwhile) will this do ?
~sort=Random ~limit=5,1,[album],[album artist (auto)] ~a
and maybe combine with this plugin http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=64132.0 :P

eehm... Thanks! I recently came across the plugin you refer to, but it did not seem to do what I'm looking for.
As to your line of (what seems to be) script code - I'd love to try, only: where in MC do I apply or enter it?

understand, i have not tried it myself

it's smartlist syntax (read more here http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Smartlist_and_Search_-_Rules_and_Modifiers)
you can actually enter it almost anywhere, but start with create new smartlist, click import/export and paste the text above into the textbox
-
Thanks again. I got the smartlist working and it's a good in-between solution.
To me, having a 'Shuffle Albums' menu option, ideally combined with a 'jump to next album' command, would still be better. It would allow playlist-oriented listening, which is what I do most.
-
you can jump/play (to the) next playlist if that help
