Two feature requests: skip when shuffling, track specific art

Please add a ‘skip when shuffling’ option for music. I would prefer language lessons and certain other tracks not to pop on when shuffling music. Making a playlists of 48,000 songs just to exclude them is not a viable work around.

The ability to add different posters to individual tracks within an album would be appreciated too.

Please stick with the guidelines for feature suggestions and go with 1 suggestion per post. Otherwise, users can only vote for your full bundle, not individual suggestions.

That being said…
There’s already existing suggestions addressing what you’re asking for. Please comment/vote in those threads in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

  1. Ability to exclude media items from shuffle modes
    • You might try to move your language lessons to a separate library – that’ll easily achieve what you’re looking with available features.
  2. [FEATURE REQUEST] Embedded artwork per song

Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestions, I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.

right, forgot about one by suggestion per post.

that said, i and others have asked for a skip while shuffling option before, and there appears to have been no movement on it. so instead of just quietly watching it not happen until the end of time, i am requesting it again in hopes of putting it back on the radar.

if i wanted to utilize a workaround, i would have, but plex has been around long enough that a seemingly simple feature like this should have been added years ago. i get that us music only users are the less interesting stepchildren of the plex universe, but i’ve still been paying for it since 2017, so hope my voice matters.

if i should delete and repost as individual requests, i’m fine with that, but i hope this isn’t simply discarded because it was suggested before, to no effect, six years ago
