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.

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
