It's an honor to have your reply to my question.  You are indeed a
Supra-Genius!  I will have to take a deep breath and upgrade to LMS8 to
study this Library Import feature you speak of.  I'm assuming you mean
my Spotify Library, right?  

That said, I also stumbled across another possible work-around:  I also
wanted my "Buzzout Room Radio" available in the car.  Thus I found a
website called SoundIIz (soundiiz.com) that allows you to take a Spotify
Playlist (yours or any others') and convert it to a YouTube playlist.  I
then use a program by MediaHuman called YouTube to MP3 converter that
will download and convert YouTube Playlist to MP3.  A big hit to my
monthly data limit and some automated downloading later I now have the
Buzzout Room playlist downloaded locally where I can play them from the
Raspberry Pi's attached 4 TB USB drive.   

Here's the discovery:  When I create and play the Buzzout Room Playlist
using local media (attached USB Drive to LMS) it can successfully
shuffle all 1547 songs in the playlist.  If I could only get my minivan
to do the same.  It will only see 500 songs per folder.  Yes, that's
outside of the scope of this forum, but I've had a right amount of
coffee this morning to feel communicative and socially expressive! 
Anyway, back to the LMS local media:  I suppose the way it "requests" is
different.  How I'd love to spend a month in your brain, Michael to
learn how you do what you do!
