Description piemonkey 2009-05-20 11:50:38 UTC 
Version:           2.0.90 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-11-generic

I normally listen to music on random album mode, but if I decide I don't want to listen to a particular album at the moment, I have to either skip through all the songs in the album (and Amarok starts playing on skip, which makes it more awkward) or I have to chose an album manually. I'd really like to have a 'skip to next random album' button, which skips to the start of another album.

I've only ever seen this on one media player before, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

i second this idea
i am using amarok 2.1.1 and it is still not there
Comment 2 Robert Keevil 2009-07-10 19:39:53 UTC 
It was possible to emulate this behaviour in 1.4 by skipping backwards and then forwards again, but this doesn't work under 2.x
Comment 3 Hilikus 2009-07-10 19:53:41 UTC 
in rockbox this is done doing a short + a long forward
just another idea if a standalone button is not provided

Hi All,
I created a dangerous quick and dirty patch to enable this. See comments 1 and 2 here:

Cheers,
