No randomness in foo_shuffle

I use "shuffle tag set" with "-album|-artist|-date|-genre". I have 3 Albums of one artist in one playlist with about 15 tracks any. Every album has of course unique album, artist, date and genre tag.

I start foobar. I double click track 37, its some track of the 3rd album. After track 37 fb2k ALWAYS continues with track 7.

There is no real randomness.

If you have enabled history saving, that will only initiate history navigation. I did not design it so manual playback would always mark the selected track as the most recently played. If it is within the history, it will not be moved to the top. Maybe I could change this, but it would probably break something else.

Could you please make such an option? I think we all adjust our playback manually sometimes, and currently it breaks all the randomness.

I did not really understand. I turned off the history flag. Its all the same: It does always jump from track 2 to 897. If I replay 2, it does jump always again to 897. No randomness.
