Is it possible to enable a random/shuffling feature on a folder in the "My music" library just as in the "My pictures" library?

I know I can create a playlist, but if I am more on the fly and want to quickly randomly play my songs in a selected folder.

not that I've seen... It might be cool to make a feature request to add a "shuffle" style button at the top of ever folder view (al la front row).

Yes, I'd definately use that function. Since it's available on "My pictures", I cannot see any reason why it wouldn't work on music as well.

Where do I make a feature request?

There is a "Shuffle" function, it is just not very prominent.
Play your folder and then go to the "Now Playing" window.

I for one think things should be different, but I did not get far with the dev(s)

You can make feature requests where you make bug reports, link below.

You can also pop up the music OSD from the UI (start on xbox controller - maybe P or N on keyboard - can't recall offhand) and the shuffle button is on that.

Also, note that the shuffle button can be placed anywhere in the skin - it's a global function, just like any other music player.
