AlbumMixer - Shuffle by Album

Description

Do you miss the classic "Shuffle by Album" feature? This simple app brings it back! Now you can listen to your music library on shuffle, without mixing up the tracks inside a live concert, classical recording, or concept album.
Instructions:
Tap the button marked "Shuffle Albums". AlbumMixer will shuffle all your albums, then add the first 12 to the built-in iPod music player and start playing. You can close the app now: the music will keep going.
If the album now playing has album art, AlbumMixer will display it. Otherwise you will see the album title and artist. You can use the bottom toolbar to pause, skip to the next track, or skip to the next album. You can also rewind to the previous track or album.
In the settings, you can select the number of albums to queue. You can also select a playlist or a genre from which to shuffle. However, this is slower than shuffling everything - especially for large playlists.
Don't like what's playing? Press the "Shuffle Albums" button again.

Thank you for this!

I was incredibly disappointed that Apple removed the “shuffle album” option. This is a simple and effective replacement!

Excellent

I really like shuffling by album and this app does not disappoint. Also excellent timely responses from Mike if you run into any issues.

essential app

Tried to contact developer through the app, which is in the settings. Problem is, no email ever popped up, so I’m leaving feedback here. Filtering by playlists isn’t available in this version, but filtering by genres is. The app doesn’t see the playlists. Or perhaps there’s a toggle in settings that’s broken. Hope this is fixable and if so, fixed soon.

Defeats the Purpose

This app has a nice interface and seems to be better than some others at picking truly random selections, but it is worse than the free apps when it comes to maintaining a playlist. I want to shuffle albums on my car stereo with some continuity (actually listening to a whole album followed by another). If I get out of the car for a few hours and do some other things on my phone, this app “forgets” the playlist it had going. I don’t want to start a new shuffle every day, or even multiple times in a day.

Useful features that should be standard

This app has useful features that should have been standard in Apple's music player. Since they are not this app is great. Beware that as of the current version 1.22 filters are unreliable and you may end up hearing stuff that should have been filtered out. I contacted the developer about this so hopefully it gets fixed. Update: the dev worked with me to quickly solve the filter bug. Yay for responsive devs!

This is a good app, only wish I can put it on the widgets list

Nice idea, but ...

Exbone on

I really want to like this, but there is a flaw in the randomization algorithm. The same group of about 20 albums (maybe more or less, I've never tried to count) is shuffled over and over and re-shuffling simply changes the order rather than loading a new group of albums. So if you wait long enough you just end up listening to the same things over and over again while the majority of music on your device is ignored. This is the only thing that is stopping me from using it regularly.

Yes!!!

Really missed album shuffle. This app is the perfect solution.

Can't choose first song

Blackbluue on

United States

I really love this app for letting me finally shuffle albums on my iPod touch. However, one of my biggest problems is that you can't choose one song or album to start and then shuffle from there. If you already have a song playing, once you open this app it will disregard the rest of the Album playing and start a new queue. Being able to choose a song from the app interface would be great too, instead of having to keep going back to the Music app to choose a song. This would get 5 stars if you could do something other than simply shuffle your library.

Great Idea, but Crashes Unexpectedly...

Moonbeast on

United States

This app is wonderful... when it is working properly. However, my experience is that it randomly crashes my iPad when I hit the "skip album" button. Let me be clear, it's not just the app that crashes, it causes the iPad itself to reboot. When I reported my problems, the message I received back was dismissive, and they only wanted to blame Apple rather than admit that they had problems with their app. Also, a lesser problem is that the app ignores the orientation of the device and defaults to a vertical presentation, even when it was previously opened in a horizontal orientation and not moved before opening the app again. In short, this app is a great idea with poor writing behind it, and it does not deserve the high ratings it has received until they can fix these problems.
