Hi Lorin,
My view, for what it worth, if implemented it would be more difficult (aka frustrating) for a user to play an album in shuffle mode, (I think you concede that in a latter post) though that said I’m not a fan of the current shuffle play controls either which are also frustrating … see:
I think the whole UI around this needs an overhaul (‘pawmasher’ included).
I hope this forum discussion highlights and opportunity for Roon to re-evaluate.
