Select random tracks from library

[kowalcj0]

What do you want to be added?

An option to find and play a number of randomly selected tracks from the library.

Additional context

It's really convenient to explore one's collection by listening to randomly selected tracks from library.

Nope. Mobile clients like Ultrasonic or substreamer have such feature:

Is this what you mean?

Wow, I didn't even know this existed !

Might need to make it more obvious or something.

If you have recommendations for a better icon (See https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons/) or interface, feel free to give suggestions!

hi @kgarner7
yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you opening my eyes!!! :D
It's kinda funny that it's been there all the time and I haven't even noticed it.
I think I expected the same behaviour as on albums page where there's an option to select a random set of albums.

re. recommending a better icon
Maybe GiPerspectiveDiceSixFacesRandom

or GiCardRandom?

or simple dice GiPerspectiveDiceSixFacesFour

or a dice outline IoDiceOutline

To my mind these icons suggest "randomness".

I think I'd rather have a single dedicated "Hey put me in continuous random play mode" button (#7), rather than having to manually click the add random songs button every X songs.

However, I think the dice would work better than the current icon.

Thanks TacoCake and kowalcj0! I'll update the icon to use dice (I think probably IoDiceOutline unless there's a ri variant) and use that to close this issue. Continuous playback would probably be another button/feature down the line...

Resolved by efa0d9e (used flat 3 dice, since it's hard to make it clear with 20px). Also make hover immediately show description.
