Yes, it needs to be option somewhere in the UI (probably not in the
Preferences), see my followup to John Russell and
http://bugs.gnome.org/163196

As to the other three options, I don't really know much more than
those descriptions, because I don't use them myself.  But judging by
their titles, I think random-by-rating, for example, plays highly
rates songs more frequently thann a pure random-equal-weights which
would be like sampling with replacement.
