The shuffle feature works exactly as you described it. It shuffles what ever play list you have selected and anything below it. This way if you are like me and you have top level categories that are genre, second level categories that are artist, and third level that are CD. You can listen to a genre (reggae or books in your case) a specific artists music (Buju Banton or BBC Radio) or a specific CD ('til Shiloh or Book one of the Tolkien series). The flexibility is there it is just based on organization.

There is also the flexibility when you create a play list to always shuffle it or play it in order as if it were one song.

By the way I love the shuffle everything as there are times I want to listen to music but do not have a specific preference. I will then hear a song and go oh whao! "Matchbox 20" I have not heard them in ages select my [play list button Alternative play list and Matchbox 20 play list. Voila I am enjoying music I have that I would not have thought I was in the mood for... :>
