As in the title. Is there anything? I have Symfonium on my phone as Jellyfin client and it’s great, one click and it plays random albums. Unfortunately I cannot install it on my tablet as it’s running Android 8.0, so too old for Symfonium. I tried all the Android clients I could install on it, but no one seems to have this function. So I set up Volumio on an old rpi clone hoping it had this function, but nope. Before I increase the e-waste numbers getting another cheap ass Android device, is there another solution?

    What are you trying to do exactly? Add full albums to a playlist queue in a random order?

    Playing around with album options

    In this video, I showcase a couple ways of adding albums to a queue. From thw album menu, tapping the play arrow loads the whole album in the queue (replacing the queue). You can long tap to select then three dots add to playlist -> add to play queue. Finally from an album page, you can click add album to play queue.

    I thought I figured it out, with the group select on multiple albums then the three dots, but it only adds the first album selected. Sounds like something that could be requested in a future update for multi-album adds via a group select.

    Does this help? I’ve been impressed with the official app and tried a few unofficial ones, but this seems to have all the utility and features I want.

    Edit: forgot to add if full in order albums isn’t what you’re after, there are other options including the app making a random Instant Mix of songs of the same genre.
