Random by artist?

Hey.
I've missed this in all media players for years... I really want a random-by-artist feauture. As in, shuffle selects a random artist, and then a random track by that artist. That way, the artist with 30 songs won't nececerrily be plaied over and over, whilst the artists with only a couple of songs hardly gets plaid, ever. When you have one song by someone, it's usually some awsome single that you could stand hearing more often. With a relatively large song database, the same song getting plaid many times would not really be a problem, ether. I think this would be a good idea. I tried suggesting it to the amaroK team once, but it was just ignored as something so obscure, not many would want it. I do not think it would be like that! When you shuffle your entire library, do you allways want a bigger chance to hear the artists wich you have many songs from?
