Hi Guy,

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.

Aha! That makes much more sense indeed.

But I see the usefullness of such a feature, though I've no idea how it could be implemented.

Me either... DSTM would have to replace the currently playing list with its shuffled self under the hood, without interrupting the playback. I'm not sure this can be done with either new code in the queue management outside DSTM, or with some ugly hacks in DSTM reaching deep in to the queue management. But it's probably worth some thought. Thanks!
