I just discovered this app and it works for me flawlessly. I am kinda missing one (for me) killer feature that I have on Kodi - ability to effer me some random albums from my music collection.

From my point of view the best solution is to add home screen widget called "Random albums" which will offer me for example 15 random albums (number can be configurable, but at least for me it is not necessary) from my collection. Each time I play (or pick) some album from selection, new set of albums should be generated.

Alternatively, this same can be achieved through smart playlist. Add ability to create smart playlist containing albums instead songs. Then if I will be able to sort those albums randomly and pick only "top 15" (again, number can and should be configurable)

Just for a context, I have some offline music collection (~ 500 GB) synced across my devices (NAS storage, phone, android head unit in car). Now I use Kodi as media player across my devices, but it is clunky to use it on touch devices. I do not want to listen always to the same music, so I really love the feature of Kodi to offer me some number of random albums from my collection (in default Estuary skin it is available right in Music subsection, see the screenshot, or in smart playlists)

Thanks for creating this app for us who do not know how to create android apps. As I read this is your hobby project, it is kinda impressive that this software is better than commercial paid software. I was using very popular PowerAmp for years, it was much worse than Mucke. I did not find anything better, and still cannot in seas of Play store.
