Random album

I love the addition of "Play Anything" in Smart Playlists.
Is there a possibility of a "Random Album" option? Sense just chooses any album in library to play. (Sometimes you never know what mood you're in for music).
Even more ambitious, a "Released this day / week / month" on the home screen, like i have seen when i trialled Roon?
Sorry if this has been requested already!
Keep up great work.

Could there be a 'random disc playing' with muliple album boxes?

instead of, or next to allowing playing random tracks, allow playing random ALBUMS from the library or from a playlist

Hi Karel, Just be clear you suggestion is to play the full album (even multi-disk albums) from track one to the last track in sequence but shuffle between albums.
Example: Filter Folk albums and play those albums in random order but in each album plays tracks in sequence.
Is that it?

Yes, exactly. Serious music lovers prefer to listen to full albums, or full compositions, in sequence. We don't want random pieces from different compositions. Now, we have to select each album separately. I would like to be able to make a list , and play the list.

This sounds great to me. I’m not a big user of playlists, but I like the idea of being surprised by a random album I may not have played for ages!

Hi, would the random album play all the tracks from the album? So let's say the algorithm would pick one album at a time randomly and play all tracks from that album?

Exactly that. Chooses an album at random and plays the whole album in track order.
