Shuffle all synced music on android, when offline

Hi,

First of all, PLEX is awesome!
I use it for a lot of different purposes, and I was very happy the day you introduced the “shuffle all” function on music libraries in the android app.

However, since I travel a lot around europe, I often have to sync my music instead of streaming directly.
To my surprise, the “shuffle all” functionality is simply not available when offline, which makes it quite bothersome to play varied music on the plane, etc.

I would be very happy to get a way to shuffle all synced music when offline, or at least a way to add all my music to some kind of playlist, which I could then shuffle.
At the moment, the best I can get is to shuffle the tracks from a single album at a time.

Keep up the good work on PLEX!
Hope to see this missing key feature soon, to mix up the boring plane rides a bit =)

Totally agree with you, I think iOS has this already. Sadly I doubt it will be integrated anytime soon, I’ve had a thread open for this for months now (https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/176259/shuffle-and-play-synced-music-library#latest)

This exactly why I came to the forums. Hard to believe you can’t shuffle or really do much of anything until you drill in to an album. Need to be able shuffle at the library, artist, or album level. I just purchased a premium account mostly so I could use the mobile sync. Now that I have it I can’t do what I bought it for. I really like Plex, but major let down.

Something I am waiting for since 2015…

I think there should be more priority on feature parity and maybe feature requests per platform.
This way such simple things would be already implemented :frowning:

Yep, just spent all afternoon syncing my library with my tablet for use offline, only to find I can’t use playlists or shuffle. Can we have this soon please? This seems like it would be an easy win to rectify an obvious oversight.

They just need to bring Sync v2.0 to Android! It would solve this, and a ton of other issues! Ironically, most people use Android because of flexibility, and SD Cards are a huge component of this. Tossing in a new 256gb SD Card would allow for ALL my music to be synced, reducing the caching issues, streaming issues, data costs, and more that currently using Plex for Music brings. It would be SO great to just sync a playlist like on the iPhone Plex and have it all!

YAY this is now possible as of Plex for Android 5.0. :smiley:
