At the moment I'm thinking that the RandomPlayList plugin will be
obsolete and replaced with the new version of SQLPlayList. The template
based solution implemented in the Custom Browse plugin feels very good
(it's not release yet). I think the same solution might be possible to
implement in SQLPlayList, this would mean that you could create a
number of different types of playlists. Each playlist type you would
have an "user friendly" user interface similar to random playlist with
the parameters relevant to that playlist type. As long as you use the
predefined playlists types you wouldn't even have to see the SQL. With
this solution SQLPlayList could also be delivered with a number of
builtin playlists which would mean that the random playlists could be
available by default. I'm not sure if its possible to understand this
without seeing it. 

The functionallity is already available in the released version of
Custom Browse for creating new menus, in the not yet released version
it will also be possible to edit existing menus in the same way. You
can create a new menu of type "Filtered Artists" menu for a sample of
how the interface look like.

I'm not completely sure yet if the Custom Browse solution is possible
to use for SQLPlayList, so I'll have to investigate this a bit further.
