I did find an alternative to ashuffle's exclude (-e) option, which was to use the -f (--file) option to receive piped tracks names from an mpd search or from an mpd playlist, e.g.:
~$ cat /var/lib/mpd/playlists/BeerSmith.m3u | ashuffle -f -
Picking random songs out of a pool of 166
This works fine in combination with the Consume toggle in Moode, but it takes a very long time to parse a playlist of 13000 tracks, so I may also explore the exclude option, once I've checked and edited the id3 tags.
Cheers
Andy
