Or the flow of the album just demands that the next track on the album be played. Single tracks are fine for the vast majority of songs and I have xmms randomize them; this typically works well and gives a nice variety. But there's quite a few albums where the tracks should be played as they were on the album. (Who'd of thunk it that some bands would nail that "album thing" and not just see it as a way of pricing music more expensively.)I see one. Occasionally, you run across albums such as Pink Floyd's The Wall where, I believe, there are separate tracks, but the music doesn't necessarily stop between tracks.
Since you mentioned Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon is one such album -- it just isn't "normal" to go from a track on that album and to have xmms randomize in The Offspring or something else as the next track. There's a couple of spots on Dark Side of the Moon where one could cut to something different, but the work is best played in its entirety.
Thanks to all that responded; I'll play around with cat and see how that works.
