I'll chime in since you mentioned me. I like to listen to an album at a time in the order it was intended. This is the reason my playlists are structured Artist -> Album -> Tunes.

Every now and then I will put the Empeg into full shuffle when I want variety from song to song. In the year and a half I've had the Empeg, I've never shuffled tunes within a single album. I think I've searched for something only two or three times since it wasn't yet bound to a playlist.

That's just the way I do things. The Empeg has a flexibility that nothing else has. Take advantage of that. Structure your music the way you like it.
