Please, PLEASE can we see an option to alter this behaviour in MM3 final?

If your still using 2.5 as your main player, then there is also ShuffleNavigate 1.0 which is pretty nice. Don't know if it works with 3.0 though, if not then I'm sure it'll be updated in time.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try doing this until a fix is released. Hopefully 3.0 will address this long-standing issue.

I don't know about a fix, but there is a back door of sorts.

Put your whole library (or whatever you're listening to) in the Now Playing list , turn shuffle off, right-click in the Now Playing list, roll over List, and select Randomize List. Back now steps back through the list as you might expect.

And you're right, this has been discussed before. Personally, I think they should just jam in an option to change the behavior, for the people who like it the way it is.

I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned before, but when will the "previous button" behaviour be fixed? I think MediaMonkey is the only music player where the previous button doesn't go back to the previously played track. Is this something that will be fixed before the final release of 3.0?
