album shuffle

This hint only really applies if you have iTunes set to shuffle by album (Preferences > Advanced) and click play with all artists and all albums selected. This way, iTunes will play all of your albums in random order (but within each album the songs will be played in their original order). This is like having a CD jukebox set to play each CD in random order. In this mode, clicking the next button jumps to the next song in the current album; option-clicking the next button jumps to the next random album.

If you have iTunes set to shuffle by song, option-clicking is essentially the same as just clicking.

One bummer is that it's nice being able to click next without bringing iTunes forward. Unfortunately, option-clicking the next button hides the frontmost app and brings iTunes forward.

Still this is a nice feature. I just wish there was a way to do this on my iPod. It's no fun clicking next next next over and over again while driving around in heavy traffic.
