This didn't seem to work quite as I expected.

I've configured a "Random for artist" with a minimum rating of **.
I ran a search for keyword "Money".  I see a heirarchy of artist->album->song.
On an album, if I call up the mixers I see Dynamic Playlist->Random for artist.
It only plays songs for that artist that have a rating of ** or higher.
Unrated tracks are ignored!  I thought they would be counted as ***, so would 
be included.
So, instead I think I need to remove the ratings filter so any song could be 
played, and instead set up a custom skip to skip tracks that are exactly 1* or 
2*.

I can't see how to play "Random for artist" from the WebUI - you seem to 
indicate this is possible above.  I don't see a PL mixer on an artist - not 
quite sure what you meant. I was actually looking for a way to do it on 
PlayerUI, so I think I'm okay now, but intruiged now about the webUI!

What I was initially trying to achieve was to play random songs from songs 
returned from a search (lazy search on the player UI).  I suppose I can save 
the results as a playlist and then have a "Random songs from playlist", and 
press this on a playlist context?

Alternatively, switch on shuffle, and play all songs...
