A simple request: If I set playback to "shuffle" - please make it stay shuffled when I decide to play a different playlist/artist/album/genre. Currently it's very frustrating as shuffle gets disabled every single time the queue changes. Let the user to have explicit control over when and how shuffle gets changed or disabled.
Bonus points if you can do the same with special modes like "album shuffle" or "artist shuffle".
Much appreciated!

if you are talking about 3.0 either turn on auto dj, or use the 'play shuffled' selection when playing an album, artist, playlist, etc. If you are talking about 2.x you can turn off shuffle reset somewhere in the settings. I dont have my phone on me so i dont recall where.
Also please keep 3.0 feedback to the feedback thread in the general forum section. Its a beta and not fully released

I dont have my phone on me so i dont recall where. Also please keep 3.0 feedback to the feedback thread in the general forum section. Its a beta and not fully released Apologies, I didn't realize there was a specific thread for the beta feedback. I was talking about 3.0.
I've tried Auto DJ - no idea how it picks songs, but it's not shuffle. It seems to just play artists or albums in alphabetical order. I missed the "Play Shuffled" option because sometimes it's called simply "Shuffle" and is located further down the menu, so I didn't notice it.
Nonetheless, to me it seems like a clunky way of controlling shuffle because you end up with menus cluttered with "Enqueue" / "Enqueue Shuffled" / "Play" / "Play Shuffled", when you can have half as many buttons, and have shuffle be controlled from a single place (Which is how most media apps do it). I understand that it may be useful to some people, but I hope you'll add an option to disable shuffle reset in 3.0 as well (along with a way to remove some unneeded options from the context menus).
EDIT: The convenient little "play" button that appears at the top when you select multiple playlists/artists/genres/etc also by default starts an unshuffled playback, while shuffle requires an extra click. |
