I use the more balanced/slower option, with *all* genres *deselected*,
good random mix, no problems at all. :confused:

If I wish to hear a random mix of say "Country", I use a saved favourite
for that genre.

My shuffle method was already set to this ("Use more balanced, but
slower shuffle"), but it's not terribly balanced. Here's an example of a
random song mix that I just generated:

- Rolling Stones
- Beatles
- Beatles
- Beatles
- Beatles
- Beatles
- Rolling Stones
- Rolling Stones
- Bob Dylan
- Beatles
- Prince
  

There are 7,328 artists in my library of 97,334 tracks.
