This is not the same as shuffle of a playlist.  The idea is to find all the (unique) items in a container, select  a random n and send these to the playlist.  When the playlist is running out, add another n.  This allows one to sit all day listening to things you don't normally select, and find unusual contrasts between consecutive items.  The normal playlist shuffle facility can't do this this one would have to send thousands of items to the playlist.\r\n\r\n3) Extend (2) to be able to play random 'groups' of items.  I don't know if this is possible for a control point, or whether it may only be possible using minimserver.  The idea is that a set of items may comprise a 'Work' (eg a symphony) or a minimserver 'Group' (which might be one act of an opera), or a whole Album, and one would like to play all the items in the group in their correct order, and then move on to another random group.  I don't know whether the Control Point can even 'see' the meaning of such groups, so it may be that this isn't possible."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/medoc92/upplay/issues/comments/153887785","html_url":"https://github.com/medoc92/upplay/issues/4#issuecomment-153887785","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/medoc92/upplay/issues/4","id":153887785,"user":{"login":"Pastim","id":1884726,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1884726?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim","html_url":"https://github.com/Pastim","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pastim/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-04T22:21:30Z","updated_at":"2015-11-04T22:21:30Z","body":"Sorry, yes, I have lost my marbles.  I was reading your artists as an album name. Sorry.\r\n\r\nIf you do a search by Album, you get Album names, not Group names.  I therefore think minimserver is suppling group instead of album for that column where a group exists.  But it definitely isn't minimserver's Album name, which still exists.\r\n\r\nSo it is surely 'random play by group'?\r\n\r\nAnd thanks for getting this far.  I think it's very close.\r\n"}}
