Since you are asking ...

The main point of Party Shuffle is to make it possible to shuffle through a playlist and see what is coming up and edit the playing order yourself.

If you have a playlist that is small enough (to be homogeneous enough that you would want to use Shuffle) but also large enough (so even with Shuffle you don't always listening to the same songs), than Party Shuffle is very usefull. In other words, there is an operational window in terms of playlist (or more generally 'source') size for Party Shuffle, it just happens to be rather small for me.

However, this script is for ad-hoc playlists. Party Shuffle could be used for this by selecting an emply playlist as its source. Still, it would not have the elegance of this script: keep current song playing, accessible via shortcut, do not have both Party Shuffle and this empty playlist in the source pane when you don't need it.

To summarize: yes, Party Shuffle could be used for the purpose this script was written for (ad-hoc playlists) but it is not as elegant a solution.
