1) You can do a search on that artist using the remote control, and have it play every single song by that artist. This will interrupt the current song (although 1.1 will have an "insert" function, allowing us to do this without interrupting the current song).
Sorry to be picky, but this is way to fiddly to do when driving along at 100mph, unless there is a way to memorise the keystrokes (I find this a lot easier on the front buttons) I've already nearly had a crash simply because I looked down to see the name of the new song - my fault - I know.


2) You can also have it randomly choose another song from that artist by pressing the "2" key on the remote. This is one of the Tweak Order functions. The next song in the playlist will become another song by that artist, without interruping the current song. You can do this as many times as you like, and it will keep adding on more songs: press "2" ten times and you'll get ten more songs by that artist, assuming there's that many left in the current playlist.
This requires me to *know* how many songs I have by the artist? What happens when I exhaust the list, does it recycle?

3) In the upcoming version 1.1, you can turn off shuffle, and (assuming your playlist structure is set up correctly to allow it) it will drop you back into the sequential playlist in the middle of that artist's playlist tree.
But, in my case, all of my playlists are a single album - so this would only give me a single album worth - not the complete playlist.

Same as above, only substitute the "3" key on the remote for the "2" key to use the appropriate tweak order function, and substitute "search by source" for "search by artist".
But this requires me to search for the album - so I need to know the name, put the unit into search mode, put it into insert mode, key the name for the album and run the search. Again, this is a bit tricky at high speed.
