Any progress on this topic?
I was hopeful the new Smart Playlist functionality might be “smart” enough to allow album randomization/shuffle… but instead is “dumb” enough to shuffle tracks even when given playlist is created from albums.
(Example: Once I hit “Play”, my “Never Played Albums” smart playlist becomes a shuffled tracklist of 5:15:56:03 duration. Srsly? 
)
Too bad Roon team is going away from the album-centric approach, with new features being track-oriented.
EDIT: Some clarification here.
