Right, there is a difference between what gst123 does when called with --shuffle and what ogg123 does. Basically --shuffle in gst123-0.1.4 does the same thing like ogg123 --random (and the documentation also describes this behaviour). However, to make things less confusing, and to support a few new use cases, like yours, I've changed the options in gst123 to match the options ogg123 uses: -r, --repeat repeat playlist forever -z, --shuffle shuffle playlist before playing -Z, --random play files in random order forever The change is in my git repository and will be in the next gst123 release (gst123-0.1.5).
