For me, switching shuffle off in this case would be confusing more. What if I want Shuffle mode whole time, but then decide only one album play not shuffled, this new behavior would mean, that I would need to manually return Shuffle Mode on after every such not shuffled album. I do not see why it should be better.

I also don't see why 'Play now' should disable Shuffle ?

Assigned to Rusty for review..

I agree with both Michal and Ludek:

If Shuffle mode has been enabled, it affects what happens when the user double-clicks tracks to add them to the NP list. But if a user clicks the 'Play Now' button for an album, it shouldn't change the shuffle mode (Just as clicking the 'Play shuffled' button shouldn't activate shuffle mode, and just as clicking the Play Now button shouldn't queue tracks even if the default action is set to 'Queue next' when files are playing).

Resolving.
