Hello everybody I have a large music library and quite often want random play. My iPhone is the client and from there I command Plex to stream my playlist to the Yamaha amp out in the BBQ area. I know I can make lots of play lists,but is there anyway I can random play the entire library it’s quite nice sometimes to be surprised by what’s playing. Any help will be appreciated. Simon. ---

Hi Simon and welcome to the Plex forums. When viewing a music library, there should be an icon to “shuffle”. This will make a temporary shuffled playlist for the entire library. ---
