Album Shuffle

[JamesHezzy]

Hi Guys,
Sorry if this has already been asked, but I did a quick search and couldn't see anything for it.

While I'm aware that you can create a playlist to shuffle by album on windows, is there any method of doing this for android? I know I could sync the playlist over, but I don't have my complete library on my phone and as such, mm wants to sync the missing songs to my phone which I don't want.

This is literally the only feature I miss from my ipod. nothing worse than really starting to get into a groove listening to a song from an album you've not heard for a while to have it cruelly snatched away after a few minutes

Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks,
James

If you tap and on a album On the top you will have Play Random Icon

See:

Hey,
Thanks for your reply. I'm aware that I can do this, but It's not exactly what I meant. What I meant was to be able to play through all the tracks on an album in the artists intended sequence, but for mm to randomly select another album to play after finishing the last track of the currently playing album without the need for my intervention.

This is the only feature I really miss from my ipod as it was very handy when I haven't got the means of directly accessing my phone, Like when I'm riding my motorbike for instance

Hi,
That what you want is not possible. You can only do it per album or add number of albums afterwards, but you need to create full now playing list before you start to drive.

Feature you search in MMW is called Auto-DJ where you can set criteria for continuous playing after Now Playing gets to almost end.

Ahh, bummer

Is there any way that I can use mmw to create an album shuffle playlist based on what is synced to my phone?

Hi,
Not natively, but it is possible that in Magic Nodes you can create Node that you can sync to device as playlist afterwards.

You have the Criteria Sync Status. So an AutoPlaylist with Sync Status and the Random Album sort should do the trick.
