[FEATURE] Android Auto: Random Play #535

Description

@kaffeeringe

📣 Description

I love the new Android-Auto-plugin! It has almost everything I need. But it would be cool to random play playlists.


🎯 User Story / Use Case

I put together playlists not nescessarily in the order I want to listen to them. I go through my music and add all the songs by an artist, that I like. And then the next. So there are often several songs by the same artists or bands right after one another. I play them randomly when I am not in my car.

So simply add a play and a random-play button on top of the playlist.


🧭 Where Does This Apply?

Select the parts of the app this feature would impact:

  • Playback screen
  • Background playback / notification controls
  • Downloads / Offline Mode
  • Library / Collections
  • Login / User Account
  • Settings / Preferences
  • Audio Engine / Player
  • Accessibility / UX
  • Other: [...]

🔁 Alternatives Considered

I tried to start the randomly played list on my phone. But then the car screen won't show, what's playing.

💬 Additional Context

You can add screenshots, diagrams, or mockups here if it helps explain the idea better.
