Yeah, these are really needed.

I think a complete DJ Random overhaul is needed. Every time I look at
doing this, I get hung up on how to lay out the user interface. If you
can help me design a useable interface for a really flexible DJ random,
I'd be glad to write the underlying code.

A user should be able to select an arbitrary set of artists, albums and
tracks in a DJ Random. It would be even better to allow the user to
select and artist, but exclude certain albums or tracks from that
artist.

What do you guys think about these features?

I think Genres need to be done right with lots of flexibility and
customizability. I haven't addressed genres in Obs or MusicBrainz,
because a good solution is hard to come by. But this is a function that
I really want MusicBrainz to fill, so I will work something out.

This is a big one, but I really want to see this as well.

This one is a pain the butt...

I think Robert Hart is well underway to making this happen.

Yeah, a rannking system has been requested pretty frequently.

These are all pretty easy. Anyone want to jump in?

I'd be glad to have your features in Obs!
