Randomize the first entry in a playlist

[bcsteeve]

With questions/posts going back 8 years, this seems like such a simple thing with large capacity to annoy!

Random should mean random.  Not random only after the first song.

I *think* I've come up with a simple solution, but I don't know how you'd implement it without expecting the user to do it manually.

Could there be an option to automagically insert a 1 second "blank" mp3 file to the top of the playlist?  That's what I've done manually and it certainly works.  Now when I play the playlist, it still plays the first song everytime, but I don't care because it is only 1 second long.  Everything is randomized after that.

Meanwhile, I have no problem doing it manually myself.
