iTunes has an awesome feature like this called 'Party Shuffle' which
would be great to see in Rhythmbox.
You can see the details here (including a screenshot):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/playlists.html
Basically it keeps a list of X songs constantly there, refilled with
random songs. It also displays the previous Y songs played, so you can
see what was last played. Where X and Y are user configurable.
So its sort of auto-random, but you can select what playlists/library
to select the songs from.
Furthermore, its not just purely random - you can select your own
stuff. Ie drag any songs from your library to the Party Shuffle list
and they stay there, drag-and-drop to re-order them, remove them
easily, and so on. Its really awesome :)
Cheers

Hello Jacob:
The idea of queuing up songs for playback has been discussed to in the
past, but the arguments for the idea have not yet persuaded those that
actually do the work. Here is a link to an old message from me which
sparked a one of those discussions:

Hi
I don't really use playlists because I like just to listen to all my
music and let Rhythmbox shuffle through it. But sometimes I feel like
listening to one or more specific songs in a row and then revert to
shuffle mode.
I think it could be great to have some sort of jukebox playlist where
you could drag songs to. If the jukebox list contained songs they
would
be played before anything else. Rhythmbox would play the first song on
the list and after playback it would be removed from the jukebox list
and jumping to the next song on the list until empty.
When the list is empty Rhythmbox would revert to playing (shuffled)
songs from the music library.
Then if you feel like listening to a few specific numbers you can drag
them to the jukebox list without having to stop the current number or
sit waiting for the song to finish.
I hope that this subject haven't allready been dicussed... I have
tried
to search the archives and follow the list for while to make sure that
it haven't - but you never know :)
If this funcionality is allready in Rhythmbox I'm sorry... haven't
been
able to find it.
Many thanks for a great music player
