Sorry if you've already found this. Auto shuffle draws songs from the library, not playlists as it creates it's own temporary playlist played songs being deleted by the auto consume function.
Auto-Shuffle needs to be enabled in the Audio-Config page, Consume mode is enabled in the drop down menu (3 dots) below the volume control on the man page. Auto shuffle is started by the crossed arrows to the right of the 3 dot menu.

I found it! But it doesn't seem to work?  I admit, I  only tried briefly.  Does it draw from my entire library or can I configure it to only draw from certain parts? My Christmas music, along with a collection of audio discourses is also in my library, but not something I'd want played at random. 

In my first post I mentioned syncing audio over multiple devices. I found snapcast and have been experimenting with it. My first impression wasn't favorable because constant hiccups in the audio. It was running on a device that had all kinds of crap going so I started fresh with a barebones install of raspbian and put the latest MPD  server, built from scratch , and the latest snapcast on it, also built from scratch.  I got that running just tonight, and so far, so good. I have two devices running running snapcast clients over Wi-Fi. There is an occasional hiccup, but the MPD on the server device is also updating my library, and I'm hoping that once it's finished it will be even smoother.

I have enjoyed my experience with moodeaudio. Other than my issue with the playlist in the web interface, I have nothing negative to say about it. 

But I am moving in the direction of Bare Bones set up without a web interface. I haven't been happy with any of the web interfaces on any of the MPD projects I've tried. This isn't a comment about any of the projects, it is a comment about myself. I like extremely simple interfaces. The interface for the snapcast app is pretty simple if you've ever tried it.

I use an app on my Android devices which has simple self defined buttons you configure to do various task over SSH. I control my MPD through MPC using those predefined buttons. I think I will be very happy when it's all working to my liking.
 
I wish the moodeaudio community the best! MPD is awesome, and these various projects that incorporate it  are a service to all. Keep up the good work!
