New User - Two Feature requests

Recently found foobar2000 (v1.6.7) player via a web search looking for something better for IOS. So far, really like it, but of course I have a couple of suggestions I'd like to see to make it better (for me, at least).

1. In "Shuffle All Albums" playback mode, there are buttons for "<<" (previous song), ">" (play), and ">>" (next song). There's not a lot of room in the part of the screen, but I'd like to see "|<<" (previous album) and ">>|" (next album) buttons. I'd happily give up having previous / next song to get previous / next album, since I'm in an album playback mode. I'm much more likely in an "album" playback mode to want the next album (to skip over something my wife likes, for example) than I am to want the next song on the current album.

2. In "Genre", I'd like to have a version of "Shuffle All Albums". I have several genres of music available, and while sometimes I do want to have it play through all albums (shuffle all albums), other times I only want it to play a certain genre, but sill in shuffle albums order.

If that doesn't make sense, consider having Classic Rock, Country, Jazz, and Classical Music albums. By genre, right now, I can play all Classic Rock albums in order, or I can shuffle all albums and randomly switch between genres as it gets to the next album. Sometimes that's ok, other times I'd want to stay within Classic Rock.
