I'm looking for a music app (streaming or otherwise) that supports what seems to me like a basic feature, but which seems to be unsupported in anything I've tried. I want the ability to shuffle my library/play the latest releases/whatever while leaving albums intact. I want to play the entirety of one album in order, then play another album in order, and so on. Anyone know of an app that does this? I'll drop spotify today if some other streaming service can do this.

Foobar2000 does this.

Pretty sure iPod Classic did this. But now I imagine most people don't mind looking at the app every 30-90 minutes to choose a new album. Also just looking at my saved albums in Spotify there's loads of crap in there just because I've downloaded it offline once in the past 10 odd years. A shuffle of these albums would suck. So they'd probably have to fix the saving/favouring of albums before allowing shuffling of them.

I've wanted a "play a random album" since the Winamp days.

If your are on iOS check out Albums, it is built around listening to music in Albums. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/albums-album-focused-player/id1469948986 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/albums-album-focused-player/id...

Airsonic [1] and all the other Subsonic forks do this, either use the web interface or one of the many client apps. I use DSub [1] for this, it works as intended and does not try to get you to do anything you don't want.
