Description Michał Sawicz 2010-02-02 10:12:36 UTC 
Whenever 'Shuffle by Artist' or '...by Album' is enabled, if the next Album / Artist was not autoselected by the Shuffle, Banshee skips to next random Album / Artist even if there are more tracks of current Album / Artist available.

Steps to reproduce:
- start playing a (not last) track of an album or an artist
- wait for it to end or seek near the end

Expected result:
- after the current track has finished, next one from this same album / artist is played

Current result:
- after the current track has finished, a random next album / artist is played
Comment 1 Michael Martin-Smucker 2010-02-02 16:14:01 UTC 
Following your steps, I can confirm this.  This also explains complaints that "all of Banshee's shuffle options work the same" (from some comments on the omg!ubuntu! blog).
Comment 2 Gabriel Burt 2010-03-10 22:28:51 UTC 
Agreed, this is an annoyance.
Comment 3 Gabriel Burt 2010-11-13 21:39:35 UTC 
Should be fixed in master:

    [RandomBy] Skips user-selected artist/album (bgo#608778)
    
    If you were in shuffle by artist or album mode, if you manually chose an
    album or artist to play, when the track is done Banshee would pick a new
    artist or album instead of continuing with the one you chose.
