It would be great if in the settings of the random plugin all genres

or not.

(apologies if the below describes something much like what is already implemented, i don't use Shuffle/Random very often and don't have an SB or SoftSqueeze in front of me at the moment to test.)

another way to come at this would be to add a "random" option at other points in the navigation. in other words, rather than have "random" just appear at the top of the menu system, also include a random play option as a submenu of nodes like the individual genera, albums or artist. If this was a oft used option, a key mapping could be considered.

Browse
--Genre
----Rock
------Play
------Random Play

Browse
--Albums
----AnAlbum
------Play
------Random Play

Browse
--Artists
----AnArtist
------Play
------Random Play

granted, this arrangement wouldn't directly support random playback of mixed genres. though you could get there with a smart playlist set up to filter down to multiple genres, played back in Random Play.
