have several albums, want to create playlists after randomizing the order. but if i do one at a time, the paylist is generated within the associated folder without the folder name, prefer to generate / create the playlists outside of the folders with each having the folder name embedded in the playlist. this works if i randomize & generate the playlist for two folders or more, but the randomize mixes up the albums......not what i want.....need each folder randomized, then a playlist generated, which has the folder name embedded, to allow it to be placed outside of the folders......or would a script do this better thanks

Load the required albums into MP3tag.
Randomize the order of all of the files.
Sort by the column for ALBUM.
-\> all tracks should be grouped together by ALBUM but the order inside that group is random.
Create a playlist of the selected files.
