    Yes I use (and like) VLC too, but @BaconTime @swarfega and @Berton - does it do what @mawallace requires?



    As far as I can see, if you run VLC and use it to open the Music folder it plays everything it can find (including in subfolders) but in alphabetical order, not a random shuffle. Is there an option I've missed?

    Groove Music does at least offer the same 'random' playback as the old Media Player (which it was designed to replace).
    ??? Shuffle Playlist - addons.videolan.org ???

    It's built in. Shuffle and random.

    Ok! :) That was my 1 cents worth of knowledge of VLC, although I do love it!

    Musicbee is best for organizing your music collection. Using it for years.

    Groove & VLC are leading options as mentioned above. You might also consider iTunes from Apple particularly if you have Apple devices you want to synch and backup.
