Request: More possibilities to shuffle files
I would like the shuffle option to be altered in such a way that I can import a specific genre as a playlist and then shuffle all these files for playback.
The app (iPad) is not ready for this yet but one can understand that a music library consist of several thousands titles with different genres.
At the moment the app ask the following:
You first have to choose a genre (60s Pop, as an example). Then you have to manually add each item from this list to a playlist. Save the playlist. When the playlist is ready, shuffle mode is available for this genre.
I like to see that I can import one (or a few) genres directly into a playlist which then can be shuffled.
I have spoken about this option with Aaron Wong when he helped me with some other issues. Like to see this in a next software update.

Hi Ruud,
Thanks for writing in with feedback, glad to hear the Bluesound Support Crew was able to help out. Different in-app shuffle options and genre filters are both popular requests and something we've flagged for the development team to look into. Make sure you're always running the most current version of the Bluesound Controller app for the latest features and updates.

I originally intended to just agree, but thought I'd add some commentary ...
Our Bluesound has reinvigorated music listening in our household. Everyone uses it and we're listening to recorded music again - we'd gotten into the habit of going to live bands, buying their CDs so the bands wouldn't starve, but never listening to the CDs because we didn't have a convenient, immediate good quality listening solution.
Anyway, because this is such a fantastic solution we put everything on - including stuff like Guitar and Drum play-along tutorials.
As you can imagine, we really don't want to shuffle that stuff :) So it means we either can't easily shuffle the collection or we have to find another solution to listen to the "odd" tracks.
I guess it's a sign of how much people integrate Bluesound into their habits that we're coming back with requests to make it fit in even better :) Did I mention we love our Bluesound ...
