I have got the playlist working saved as "slow1" for late night listening.

But i cannot figure out how to shuffle the albums.
Do i always have to play the first album on the play list and then it shuffles
the later albums?

Just dont want to start with the same album on the playlist.

What you should be able to do is scroll to a different album select a track and then hit shuffle to start at a different point.

If you notice, my previous post said "should be able to" and a "different point". I have not tried this on the Touch. I did try it on Squeezeplay today and it did work, except that the track selected was not the one with which the playlist started. Each time a track from a different album was the first to play.

Answered elsewhere, however:

On the Touch screen:
Tap the shuffle icon for either shuffle track or shuffle album, depending on which you want.
Go to "My Music" > "Playlists" and press and hold the playlist you want till you get a popup, tap play.

I get the pop up but i dont see play.
I do however touch once and it loads the playlist and seems to do it randomly
so that seems to work.
