Shuffle no longer working?

[PolkSDA]

This is behavior that I could have sworn was working at one point, but as of right now, I can only seem to get shuffle to work if I select "Play All Tracks Shuffled" which plays the entire library, which I do not want. I just want to select an album (I don't use playlists) and have it play in shuffled order.

The little indicator in the player at lower right is showing the crossed icon indicating that shuffle is on, but any attempt to play an album starts with track 1 and hitting next track goes to the next sequential track, not a shuffled track.

There's no shuffle going on at all.

Yes, I'm running the most current version.

What gives?

I can't say why the steps you used before might have stopped working, but here are a couple of things you can try:

* Select the album and right click > play more > play all tracks shuffled (there is also a hotkey you can configure for "play displayed tracks shuffled")

* In Now Playing preferences, under Shuffle Settings, tick "select by album" and "shuffle album tracks"
