Random track play not working

[SoundMan57]

I am confused on how to get the player to play random tracks, it seems everything I try fails to work for me. I can get random tracks to play within a album play list but once the tracks are all consumed, the player does not add 2 more tracks to the play list and stops playing. I saw one post that said to turn on the ashuffle and the cmd line and I am getting an error but do not know if that is my problem or not. (see below)


pi@MoodePI:~ $ ashuffle
libmpdclient received a malformed response from the server.
This may be because a song's metadata attribute (for example,
a comment) was longer than 4KiB.
See https://github.com/joshkunz/ashuffle/issues/89 for
details or updates.
MPD error: Response line too large

I ran this command but this does not seem large enough to cause this issue:
pi@MoodePI:~ $ mpc list comment | awk '{print length, $0}'|sort -nr|head -1
