You can do this with the Random Mix, which is controlled by genre.  You
tick off which genres you want to include in the mix.

Yes, you can.  But you'll have the same limit of no more than 100
tracks that can be in the current playlist when using the built-in
server.

Good idea.  That's often recommended for anyone considering buying a
Squeezebox or for those who have one on the way.

What you also might do is put hopes of using the built-in server out of
your mind.  It has numerous limitations and, before you've even touched
a Squeezebox, you've already run into one that doesn't fit how you like
to listen to your music.
