Ok, That's not exactly what I wanted..

This is what I want:

Playlist:

Album A
Album B
Album C
Album D

Shuffle Output:

Album B
Album D
Album A
Album C

etc..

Not interalbum random play order. smile.gif

Did you choose "shuffle album 2"? There is a difference..

IIRC you also need to enable "follow cursor" under the Playback menu for shuffle album 2 to work.

Incorrect. However, your albums do need correct tracknumber tags.

Ok it was some other plugin that needed "follow cursor" to work. Perhaps the jump to next album or whatever.

When I use "shuffle album 2" it just plays random songs in the album that is currently playing..

I want it to actually rearrange the playlist not just play in a random order.

I think you can't do this.
But why do you want to sort like that ? huh.gif

Shuffle album 2 plays each whole album by tracknumber order, regardless of how the tracks are ordered in the playlist.

Maybe it's kind of obvious, but it also needs valid album tags. None of the special shuffle modes will work properly with untagged files.
