Random albums not songs, how?

[Pieter]

I've been using akujen's MPDRandom Python script for the past year and it works flawlessly. You can have it run as a daemon in the background and it'll function like the official autosrhuffle feature, but then with albums.

Interesting. 

Does it work with Consume mode ON to prevent Playlist from growing?

Small correction to what I said earlier: the script allows the playlist to run empty (if consume is enabled) and then picks an album at random to play next. I guess that makes crossfading tricky?
