Exaile

Ability to 'Shuffle Albums'

Bug Description

It would be awesome to be able to shuffle entire albums instead of just tracks.

I.e.:
If I have 10 albums in my playlist, album shuffle would randomly select one of the albums from the list, and begin playing it.. it would play in normal order, or in 'Shuffle' order if shuffle were checked.. but if shuffle were checked, it would only shuffle through that album.. then once that album is complete, it would randomly select another album.

This ticket was migrated from the old trac: re #301

Slightly fixed album shuffle Edit (16.2 KiB, text/plain)

Have improved this patch a bit actually - there was a problem if an album had a bunch of tracks labelled with the same track number, should work better now. Attached the new patch.

thermopyl - sorry for the slow reply. If you've branched the exaile development branch with bazaar you can apply the patch by doing (in the directory you've branched into):

bzr patch /path/to/album_shuffle_fixed.patch

and it'll make the changes for you. Have subscribed to this bug now so if you have any more problems leave another message on here and I'll probably reply a bit quicker next time.

Minor bug: if shuffle is turned off when exaile starts up, the icon will be a disc, not the normal shuffle icon. After toggling it once it behaves correctly.

Aside from that that patch looks very good and afaict works perfectly. Great work!

Think this patch should sort that out Aren. Glad it all seemed to work ok otherwise though!
