My side project is a media player (music, images, videos).
I'm not happy with any music player, so when I get frustrated with them, I work on mine, trying to solve the issues. Being able to choose a shuffle mode is one big difference in my player. You can choose from lru, random, similar, least skipped.
I like least skipped mode because I usually skip past the same songs. The more I skip them, the less they are played.
Similar mode is nice because I notice I skip music depending on what mood I'm in, and I have a tendency to just put all my music in one giant playlist. If I'm in a picky mood I put it on similar shuffle and if I listen to a song all the way through it'll play a similar song it hasn't played yet. If I skip a song, it'll use the last one I completed.
Another big thing is being able to see the next song coming up, and being able to dismiss it. So you can refine the next in the queue while you listen through the current song.
