I would like to listen to all the albums of two different artists, with them intermingled, randomly.
Can that be done, reliably, with the tracks played randomly?
I can see how to play artist 1,then add add artist 2, then set random on, but I would always get the first track of artist 1 playing first
Are playlists the answer?

Half way there...
Thanks for this, but I'm looking for the two artists' tracks to mingle randomly.
I enjoy listening to my music randomly.
I remember the day I was offered a golden handshake; Handel's Hallelujah Chorus struck up exactly as I accepted it!

Looks like it works for me. I chose two artists with a similar number of albums with similar length tracks. Looks reasonably random as far as I can tell.

Clarification
Two artists, Liz Story with 9 albums and George Winston with 7 albums.
On day one the first track I hear just happens to be "Joy" by George.
The second track is "Hymn" by Liz.
The next track, like the first two tracks can be any track from any album of either artist. And so on.
The following day, the tracks play in a completely different way.
