Sir, I posted elsewhere and it appears your expertice may help my experience. Android/web allows shuffle at the top for music. Roku only offers me shuffle in shows. Is there a way I can enable it in music and/or is there somewhere I could donate something small to your time to add a shuffle button to roku's music client?

Edit: it's very possible maybe I have my server or client settings set up wrong.

This is what I see on Android for the client under music

Want to shuffle play your entire music library?

On the home screen, move the cursor over the music library and press PLAY on your remote. It'll play 2000 random songs.

What to shuffle play all songs by an artist?

Go to your music library and switch to one of the Artist views. Find the artist you want and press PLAY on your remote. It'll play their songs in random order.

What to shuffle play a single album?

Go to your music library and switch to "Albums" view. Find the album you want and press * on your remote. Choose "Shuffle Play Album"

You can also do this with any album listed on the home screen.

Or, in the upcoming 3.1.0 release, I've added a Shuffle Play button as part of the redesign of the album screen.

and/or is there somewhere I could donate something small to your time to add a shuffle button to roku’s music client?

If you feel so inclined, donation links are at the top of my GH profile: https://github.com/1hitsong but money isn't why I do this.
