Let me be clearer: Why deliberately circumvent an existing feature by creating playlists that are deliberately out of order?

The player is designed so that:

Not Shuffled: Everything is in order.
Shuffled: Everything is out of order.

And you can toggle between the two with a single keystroke.

So why deliberately mess that up by creating playlists that aren't ordered?

Well OK, let me give an example. The empeg was used as the DJ during my wedding reception in 2001. I had a clear idea of how I wanted the music to create the mood during the evening, so the "wedding reception" playlist was ordered according to the qualities of the music, as opposed to the properties of the music's metadata. Since then I've created many playlists along those lines. When in the car, I want to have the freedom to drop out of, and then return to, that structure.

Now I feel like I've transgressed in some way by choosing to sort my music in this fashion.
