What kind of mad person shuffles their whole collection? Do you preemptively purge all albums/artists of the songs you don’t like before adding them to your collection?

I actually use MPD unlike op, but whole-collection shuffle is correct.

Nothing beats skipping from Bach to TMNT theme tune

Nothing beats skipping from Bach to TMNT theme tune

I agree with that sentiment, but that’s not what happens at all. It’s especially funny since you excplicitly mention Bach. My damn “Bach, Johann Sebastian” artist folder contains 226 different albums. Albums, not songs. And boy, that guy wrote some stinkers, too.

I mean, I guess I could roughly see the system working if you have the same amount of songs for every artist, that would somewhat balance it. Otherwise your playlist will always be dominated by the prolific writers and you’ll get a few dozen Händel concertos and a handful of random Zelda dungeon sounds before the next TMNT theme tune plays.
