Hello

Would it be possible to make the Music Shuffle Queue persistent?

Let me explain.

I listen to my Music collection on Shuffle, however, if I want to watch a Movie, TV Show etc., upon returning to Music the place in the Shuffle Queue is lost and I have to start the Shuffle again which means listening to some of the same songs.

It would be useful to be able to keep the place in the Music Shuffle Queue until the Stop Button is pressed so that a Movie or TV Show can be watched and then I can return to listening to my Music from where I left off in the Shuffle Queue.

Hopefully this can be implemented at some time.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

This issue has been raised in discussions here for at least the last three years but to no avail. I agree that this seems like a simple fix/add but has not been addressed. It’s something every other music player/software allows you to do. Come on Plex team!

I know it’s not the same thing that is being requested, but in the meantime this might be of interest.

> have you ever wanted to create an autoplaylist that returned a different set list of items every time you viewed it ? in plex you can create a filter, and you can sort by different fields, however there is no visible shuffle or random sort. This post will show you how to create a filter which will give you a set of tracks/videos that changes every time it is refreshed. load [Plex Web](https://app.plex.tv/desktop) navigate to the library of your choice (it works on music, movies, episodes. video of course you might choose…
