Clearer Selection and Shuffle Options in Folder Mode

[guy500]

Could we have an option to select multiple folders to play at one time (e.g. using checkboxes) without having to create a new playlist folder by folder, and then have the shuffle options apply to the selected folders only.

So then, for example, the SHUFFLE ALL AVAILBLE SONGS option would shuffle all songs from the selected folders.  

 

Currently, it is only possible to select one folder at a time, and while it is possible to set it to shuffle (which seems to activate a hidden Shuffle Heirachy mode that is not available in the shuffle options), that mode cannot be re-activated if a different shuffle option is selected, even for a second.

Something like that would be ideal.  Poweramp is much better than any other player I have come across in so many ways (especially sound quality), but the folder and shuffle options are a bit confusing to me.  It's frustrating to be only able to choose one folder at a time to play from - and then not being able to change the shuffle behaviour within that folder without reverting to playing everything......

Related to this, can we have better randomization for the shuffle function. When I select the shuffle function for a playlist, the order of the songs get randomized, as it should. However, if I exit the playlist or program, then come back to this playlist again later and select the Shuffle option once again, I find that the song sequence does not change. It is the same song sequence
