I did most of a random album feature from the playback screen (was going to be a swipe of the album art rather than a button but same diff) before I remembered the library data only populated the needed array when you go to the column/album cover view. Since we load that data on startup now though it should be easy.
ETA: the reason I didn’t do it after 4.3 or whenever we started populating the arrays early was I found I don’t really want random, or at least not blindly random. It’s rare that I want to hear the first randomly selected album and will usually poke the little random thing a few times and then maybe choose something adjacent from the album list or tap the artist name to play another one of their albums. But as above it should be easy enough to ad now and it’s a nice feature for people who do want that.
