I love when I make a serendipitous discovery, particularly in software. I haven’t seen this documented anywhere, but somewhere along the way, Apple pushed out feature addition to iTunes’ Party Shuffle feature.

I think we all know that in iTunes > Preferences > Playback you can specify how you’d like to shuffle. iTunes lets you specify to shuffle by Song, Album, or Grouping. I noticed today that Party Shuffle was selecting items by album. When I changed my Playback preferences to by Song, Party Shuffle obliged and reselected by song. Here are some screenshots.
