Michael,

Hope you are well!

Both Foobar and, e.g. Clementine, have a "one-time shuffle" option that is separate from "play randomized". The first simply randomizes the playlist a single time and any subsequent additions to the playlist are not random. The second randomly plays tracks as play progresses. In fact, the first actually modifies the playlist order to be randomized while the second does not, the current track randomly shifts throughout the playlist.

LMS does not do either of thse, as you know, because it randomizes the playlist and then continually re-randomizes the playlist for newly added tracks.

But I see the usefullness of such a feature, though I've no idea how it could be implemented. For example, I listen to a lot of classical music. I can, in Clementine, add single movement works to a playlist, shuffle them, then add multi-movement works to the same playlist and they are not subsequently shuffled. That's one usecase though perhaps not compelling enough (given LMS developer resources :-) to implement if it's even possible.

Regards!

It would really be a good feature to add these options. And preferably
CLI controllable.
Wow. And my text console can sort lines.

What exactly are you trying to explain with this? You can shuffle and de-shuffle the playlist. You just cannot have it in shuffled state and add stuff in sorted order. It's either shuffled or not.
