Comment (by stippi):
In principle, the "Randomize Playlist" and the hypothetical Shuffle
playback allow the user to achieve the same thing. However, a Shuffle
feature would allow it with much more convenience and more tailored
towards the most common use-case. Which is a you have an organized
playlist, you just want to pay back all those songs in random order, and
each time with a different random order, please. The "Randomize Playlist"
feature on the other hand would have to be invoked manually before each
playback of the playlist, and on top of that it completely messes up your
playlist so you can't easily see what you have in it anymore. The only
good use-case for the "Randomize Playlist" is when you want to make a
pseudo random, but actually controlled playlist. I.e. you know what you
want to play at the party, randomize the list for a start, and then tweak
the playlist order specifically to have certain songs come after another.
