I largely agree with the changes you've made, and wanted to expand on
something since we're talking UI here.

Is there a better way of defining the "Shuffle by ..." options so they
actually mean something? Maybe it's just me but I've no idea what
"Shuffle by Artist" will actually do. Does it shuffle all songs by the
current artist? Does it shuffle all songs but keep identical artists
apart? Similarly for other By Album, By Rating etc. These might be
really nice/useful options but if they are as opaque to everyone else
as they are to me they probably won't be used very often!

The only option I end up using is Shuffle by Song as that appears to
be the shuffle I expect. :-)

Cheers,
