Hi -
Really liking the player and I feel like I'm close to what I want but ...not quite.
I like to use Next/Prev to randomly walk my library. (Seeing a randomized Queue for all 5K+ songs would drive me mad. Randomize all the time, and if songs repeat, so be it) Occasionally I'd like to hear a specific song. I can go to Songs, and "Play Next" - great.
What I'd love is that after it finished , or if I felt like hitting "Next" near the end, that since my list of manually Enqueued songs was now done, the player would go back to start randomly walking my Library again.
I just now figured out that a combination of Shuffle and Shuffle Cancellation settings almost gets me there. I can Play Next and Enqueue, which turns off Shuffle, otherwise those songs don't even get played. The queue, however, repeats unless I realized I'm on the last entry and click Shuffle until it's blue.
What to do? Thanks in advance.

2 options. Turn off shuffle, add all songs to your queue, and select randomize
or set on queue completion to "play random track". When a queue finishes it will pick a random song and play that. If you add songs to your queue it will play them in order until the queue is finished... which then would go back to a random song

Huh. Going with option 2. Seems to behave how I wanted. Weird, I could have sworn it didn't prior.
Weirdly - I did hit FF at the end of the Queue and it played Random. Great. Shuffle was turned off by Shuffle Cancellation, but it's still playing randomly through my Library. The Queue is just the one song that's playing at that moment.
I mean, I'll _take_ it - but I wonder why it's shuffling w/no shuffle.

because you have on queue completion set to play random track..... A single song in a queue is still a queue

One more note for future readers - the only real price for this seems to be that you lose the ability to back a song or two...I'm mostly fine with that, though.
