I'm starting to think I need to use a combination of smart playlists and custom nodes like you're doing to achieve the results I want, so looking at what you've got would be a huge help.
Here are the custom settings I made to get the results I stated earlier:
Examplexml:
Music:
Change action:
ActivateWindow(Music,library://music/musicroles/allartists.xml,return)
{comment - This is a prebuilt Node for music that I've decided to use; however now that I've learned about creating custom Nodes, I'll eventually create a custom Node for the Music Home Menu}
Select background:
Live Background: Random albums
{comment - This is a prebuilt option to create a background image of the Album Covers where the Album Covers are radomized every time you view the Music Home Menu}
