Player shuffle state misleading [#21688][#21761][#21762]

[Peke]

Hi,
We will see once https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=21761 is fixed then we can tweak it thru other bugs.

I still think that current state of Shuffle mode have room to improve, both in behavior and UI presentation. But that is another topic for future MM releases.

FYI my settings under Player-Playback rules-Music matched the picture other than crossfade gap. At the Player level I had "Clear list & play selected only" set but otherwise the same.

I sometimes mix settings, depending on what I do in MM, these settings are mostly for casual playing and friends gathering/party mode.

Hi,

There's probably some room for improvement here, but I think that the fundamentals are right for reasons explained at : https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view ... 761#c79493

If Shuffle mode has been enabled, it affects what happens when the user double-clicks tracks to add them to the NP list. But if a user clicks the 'Play Now' button for an album, it shouldn't change the shuffle mode (Just as clicking the 'Play shuffled' button shouldn't activate shuffle mode, and just as clicking the Play Now button shouldn't queue tracks even if the default action is set to 'Queue next' when files are playing).
