[I left the Component: on Audio because that's how it is set on bug #40, and 
that bug is a close cousin to this one.  Same with other fields.] 
 
Thanks for a great app. 
 
I would like to have a random mode, which is kind of like shuffle, but 
actually is random.  And example might be in order.  If I have 10 songs in my 
collection, then the first song played might be song 1.  The next song to be 
played might also be song 1, it is just as likely to be song 1 as any other 
song in the list. 
 
I realize that this works at cross-odds with the current idea of "create 
playlist by pulling from complete list of songs, wash, rinse, repeat until 
list is empty."  Maybe a random mode would only calculate the next <n> songs, 
maybe it would be set to "generate <n> minutes of random music", or maybe it 
would only have a playlist of two songs, the current one, and the next one. 
 
 
This could also work with some sort of a scoring system (random [or shuffled?] 
weighted playlists?) which would be generated on the fly. 
 
I used a curses based jukebox one time which was awesome as far as scoring / 
random goes.  All songs started with a value of 50.  If the song finished, it 
went up 10 points, if you skipped it, it went down 10 points.  Songs could 
also be manually set to a score.  You could also say, "play only songs scored 
<n> and higher".  This made it very fun to go through and "hit the 
spacebar" (the skip mechanism) on a lot of songs you didn't care to hear at 
that moment.
