I have resolved never to update iTunes past 10 because of the way they changed the playlist shuffle feature. In 10, you can click the shuffle button and have the complete shuffled order shown right in the playlist, assuming you are sorting by the number column. I then sync my iPhone and play it in that order. It's the only way to get the Music app to shuffle by groupings.
You also can't set some playlists to always be shuffled and others to play normally. It's incredibly annoying. The "up next" menu is just a glorified version of Genius and a poor replacement for actually shuffling a playlist. I'm trying to listen to music, not DJ at a party.
I see 11.1 includes shuffling updates. Can anyone tell me if they've returned to the old method at all?
