Random play order rules or guarentees

Context: The way I use plexamp is to simply rate all my music (5 stars with halves), and then go to the Liked music playlist and press shuffle. Thats it. Sometimes I might play an album but typically I’m just listening to a shuffle of everything I like.

Feature: I’d like to be able to add “rules” which link songs to adjust the random shuffle though.

Example: I’d like to be able to link the songs “The Happiest Days of Our Lives” and “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)” with an “order dependent” relationship, so that any time “The Happiest Days of Our Lives” is queued from shuffle it is followed by “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)”, and any time “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)” is queued from shuffle, it is preceded by “The Happiest Days of Our Lives”. Outside of these 2 songs, everything else is a random shuffle.

Example: I’d like to link the songs “Blinded by the Light” and “Spirit in the Sky” in a “non-order dependent” relationship, so that any time either of them is queued from shuffle, it is followed immediately by the other. Outside of these 2 songs, everything is a random shuffle.

Example: I’d like to link the songs “Breathe” and “On the Run” in an “order dependent relationship” (this is primarily a Pink Floyd feature), so that any time “Breathe” is queued from shuffle it is followed by “On the Run”, and any time “On the Run” is queued from shuffle, it is preceded by “Breathe”. Outside of these 2 songs, everything is a random shuffle.
