That's how I found it, it's the going through 'shuffle by Album' that messes things up but if you are in 'shuffle by song' then there is no choice but to go through 'shuffle by album' to turn shuffle off when you use the remote.Hi Dan,

I note that re-sorting the playlist on the system is pretty quick:
% time sort -r __00_04_20_04_0a_b1.m3u > /dev/null 0.008u 0.002s 0:00.00 0.0% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
Unfortunately - due to some legacy bits, that's not all the shuffle code needs to do.
Understood. It just seems the code in this case is so far away from what the hardware is capable of. Seems like it would be faster to /bin/sort the playlist and re-load it. Sure, that would be a kludge but it says something when using a 'hammer' suddenly looks lithe and elegant.
What shuffle mode are you going from -> to?
All, because I do this using the remote and it cycles through them.
This is the same method I have my folks using with their squeezebox. Listen to this big random playlist and when you hear something you really like or suits your mood, press the button on the remote to unshuffle. When you get bored, press it to go back to random.
If there was a pause before the shuffle started then maybe you could step over 'shuffle by album' mode.
