[Feature Request] A few minor requests for Plexamp. File based explore + Random Song Radio

A couple minor requests, neither of which should be a heavy lift given how far you’ve come (although I’m sure these aren’t a priority).

I know I’m apparently in the minority, but Album based anything seems crazy to me. I have so rarely ever liked more than a song or two from an album - but many tools and features are based around albums. As such, I organize my songs by folders, which allows me to organize in any arbitrary way - even mixing and matching how its organized (i.e. first by genre --> split into singles & long mixes (duration)) which isn’t possible otherwise.

  1. File based exploring, just like in the Plex app, as another option in your new Library feature
  2. A “Random Song Radio” option for Stations. “Random Album” of course isn’t what I personally want, and Library Radio doesn’t quite work how I wished it did. It seems to get stuck on a handful of artists (or albums?), and just repeats them - even sometimes repeating individual songs maybe 30 songs down the playlist (I have >4K songs in my library).

BTW: Plexamp is great, and once chromecast support is out, it’ll definitely become my primary music app!

#2 you can disable the shuffle algorithm in the server settings- library

Alternatively create a shuffled smart playlist https://forums.plex.tv/t/472823/

Ah, I was unaware of that feature (I’m new to using Plex as a music source). I’ll definitely check that out
