Are there really people out there who actually listen to disjointed music from all over their collections?  I cannot think of anything more ghastly than having to hear, say, the second movement of a symphony, then be whisked away to a random aria from halfway through a cantata, then have some Verdi for a few minutes...
I was struggling with the smart and dynamic playlists to see if I could get a selection of random albums, but I couldn't find a way to do this.  The ability to have the system queue automatically three or four albums, like the dynamic playlists do for tracks, would be very useful, and I must admit to not being able to see why random tracks have been implemented at all.
Would it be possible to have the album selection probabilities inversely weighted by album length (maybe variably with a slider) as well, to prevent the short albums being 'choked' by the long ones and never selected?

I would have a go at this myself, but I absolutely hate coding anything related to GUIs - I once had a go at learing Qt but had to give up - I just stick to good old CLI C++ now!

Yss, actually. I do, from time to time, wander from psytrance, through classical, on to pop, toss back a bit of rock, and pour another beer, all in the space of a few hours

Random albums are something that is on the list of features that would be nice - but I believe other stuff keeps coming up, and noone's submitted any code to do it.

In the meantime, there is a feature that sort of does what you want - only it involves using amarok in ways it's really not intended - like loading a **** of tracks into your playlist and using the "random album" feature from the (I think - not got access to amarok at the moment) Tools menu.

I agree with you though - a dynamic playlist/smart playlist combo to load random albums would be nifty. If you can come up with a good algorithm for exactly how you think it should work, or a couple of different ways, post to http://bugs.kde.org and flag your report as a wish.
