App Profile: AlbumMixer - Shuffle by Album

Do you miss the classic "Shuffle by Album" feature? This simple app brings it back! Now you can listen to your music library on shuffle, without mixing up the tracks inside a live concert, classical recording, or concept album.

Instructions:

Tap the button marked "Shuffle Albums". AlbumMixer will shuffle all your albums, then add the first 12 to the built-in iPod music player and start playing. You can close the app now: the music will keep going.

If the album now playing has album art, AlbumMixer will display it. Otherwise you will see the album title and artist. You can use the bottom toolbar to pause, skip to the next track, or skip to the next album. You can also rewind to the previous track or album.

In the settings, you can select the number of albums to queue. You can also select a playlist or a genre from which to shuffle. However, this is slower than shuffling everything - especially for large playlists.

Don't like what's playing? Press the "Shuffle Albums" button again.
