Description Trevor F. 2009-12-09 14:01:29 UTC
Customers are complaining that the "Choose Genres" option in Random Mix is cumbersome and does not replace the previous options of 'Shuffle Genres' and 'Play All'. The opinion voiced, is that backing out of their Now Playing list, choose the genres they want to play, and then select either an artist or an album is not at all what they want this feature to do.

Proposed changes would be the inclusion of a proper Genres option in Random Mix, that would compile a playlist of all music from that Genre, and shuffle that.

I don't recall any "shuffle genre" option (originally was just track, artist or album). The choose genres simply limts the range to genres that the mixes will select from)

MusicIP plugin provides similar features to what is requested anyway.
