(I already posted this in the wishlist but didn't hear if its possible...)
In the sync options menu the option to automatically fill the device to device capacity randomly has no other settings.
I would love more options here, such as:
Sync full albums only
Ignore Artists with less then __ tracks
etc...
I hate it when it only syncs a couple of songs from an album.
Maybe this can already be done but I can't figure it out!

Make a smart playlist with a fixed size near your device's capacity.
Sort by Random Album then Track #.
Sync only this playlist.
This will fill your device with complete albums, randomly chosen.
Of course if you only have a few tracks from a given album it will add those tracks. MM has no way of knowing how many tracks are supposed to be on an album.
To rule out artists with less than X number of tracks you'd have to do this semi-manually I think.
Sort your library by artist than add an "Artist does not equal" variable to the above playlist and check off bands that have less tracks than you'd like.
You could also simply remove the album title if you don't have the full album and see if that works...try just a few first so you can easily switch back.
