Play all songs in shuffle mode?

With MC2004, I would be able to go to My Music, then Songs, select PLAY and
Shuffle. This would allow me to play all songs in my library in shuffle mode.
I notice that I can no longer do this with MC2005. When I play a song now, it
only allows me to do one at a time. It seems to add all songs to a queue that
I click on. I just want to listen to all my songs in random mode.

Is this the case? If so, I sure miss the option I had in MC2004. I could
easily listen to everything quickly. Any workaround to this? Did I miss
something?

Kind Regards,

Nbaily

Quickest way to do this is from the start page, move the focus to My Music
click the More info button on the remote (may be called details or info) and
select play all.

I think this was way too hidden in MCE2005 - I need to put in a wish that it
gets changed back to how it was in MCE2004!

Hi Michael,

That's the trick! That is really not easy to find. Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Nancy

If you want to make it quicker in the future, create a playlist with all
songs in it and play it. Then it will appear in the most recently used list
on the start page. If it's something use do a lot, it'll always be there to
get to easily.
