When playing in 'Random Mix', there should be a Skip Album/Artist/Year button...

As a user playing in (for example) Random Mix -> Albums ... if I get to an album like Ozzy where I might have 14 songs, and I don't want to listen to any Ozzy at the time ... I should be able to skip the entire album instead of one song at a time. I would suggest a Double-Click of the FWD button, but anything will due. This is quite annoying when you have a long Comedy album with 30-40 very small tracks...

Try now, i've set it up..

Assigning to Dean... :) feel free to re-assign from there!
Just checking in... this should get looked at for 7.3 I think. It should be in both the Controller and the SqueezeCenter UI.
I'm not sure what this is. Can you describe how it works in a little more detail for the player, controller and web UIs?
This is most important in relation to "Random Album Mode"... I'm not sure what the best UI experience would be on the Controller or SqueezeBox UI --perhaps Brian should comment. With regards to SqueezeCenter, I think we should simply add another button next to the "Rew - Pause - Fwd" buttons that is simply "Skip Album". It would force the system to add a new album to the end of the playlist and then skip to that album. On the controller I could see some kind of a Press-Play-and-Hold ... but that would have to be worked around the existing "generate musicip playlist by pressing and holding play" thing. Perhaps a double-tap of the FWD button? or Double-Tap and Hold?
Brian: care to comment?
Planning on changing Random Mix behavior in the future.
