I have a question about shuffle functionality, which may or may not point to a bug. First, the Shuffle indicator works properly in beta 7 (and thanks for fixing it :), so that's not a problem. But my problem is this. If I select a playlist with shuffle turned off, and then, while it's playing, turn shuffle on, it doesn't start shuffling. Likewise, when I select a playlist with shuffle turned on, and then turn shuffle off, it doesn't _stop_ shuffling. This is very different from the shuffle behavior of most CD players and most MPEG player programs, and I'm wondering if there's some logic behind this, or if it, perhaps, is an oversight or bug.

The utility of being able to stop shuffling is obvious - clearly, if I'm shuffling and I hear a song and go "ooh, I want to hear the rest of that album (or playlist, if you will)", it's easier for me to just turn off shuffle, rather than navigate through the (thankfully hierarchical now) playlists to find that list...
