Shuffle multiple playlists together

[groaninjock]

Is it possible to select two (or more) playlists at the same time and have them shuffle together? So that Poweramp is picking randomly from across all the selected playlists?

When I check multiple playlists in the Playlists screen, the play and shuffle buttons are greyed out. Am I missing something obvious or doing something wrong?

It's not directly possible using the Play or Shuffle icons, no.

However when you have got your two or more playlists selected like that, you can use '>>Queue' (long-press on it first if you want to enable shuffled mode) in order to enqueue all the contained songs in random order, and then listen to the Queue.

Thanks, that's the quick solution I was looking for.

I'd got as far as adding to the queue, but figured there must be a quicker way to achieve what I wanted.

Using long-press on the >>Queue icon first is a quick way to set it to Shuffled mode, so what you then add should be already shuffled before the Queue even starts playing.
