How to Shuffle?

[reds91]

This may be a stupid question, but I have no idea how to play the songs in shuffle. The only option I see close to this is the shuffle playlist button, but I want it to randomize all my songs, not just from one artist. Does anyone know how to do this?

its under play, at top left of player, or u can just press s
if u want to do this with all your songs just make a playlist of ur library...

Yea I saw that, but is there seriously not a dedicated button to shuffle all songs? How could that be, a music player that will shuffle playlists but not the holistic collection...
It just doesn't make sense to me.

The ML is a media organizer plug-in. Playback is done through the playlist editor, which is part of the Winamp core. Whatever is in the playlist editor is what gets shuffled during playback

Don't know which skin you use, but in Bento, just click on Audio in the leftmost (tree) pane, right-click on "All" in the Artist pane, select "Enqueue Selection". Then double-click at whichever song you want to start on in the playlist pane, with shuffle turned on on the player.

Or if you don't mind starting at the first song in your library, save a couple of clicks by choosing "Play Selection" instead of "Enqueue Selection" from the right-click.
