Feature request: jump to artist / album from playback panel

[edsnowden]

I listen to music most of the day while working - I put Museeks in Library mode (big list of all tracks), enable shuffle, and start playing. (Incidentally, I have to select a track to start playing, then click next to get a random track; I think if nothing is currently playing/paused, just clicking Play should start playing a random track.)

Sometimes, an album track I haven't heard in a long time comes up and I want to go and listen to the whole album. It would be nice if the artist and track names in the playback status panel at the top were clickable and took you to the relevant place in Artists view. At the moment I have to switch to Artists view, find the artist, then find the album. (Incidentally, I usually forget to disable shuffle, so I end up listening to track 1 of the album I want to listen to, then it jumps around the artist's other tracks until I notice; I think Library and Artists modes should have separate shuffle state.)

Hello!

Yes absolutely, I should definitely to that, that should be rather straightforward to do.

I think Library and Artists modes should have separate shuffle state

I never really thought about that. That kind of make sense but never saw a single player do it. I'll have to think about it.

I implemented the first bit, but not the second, if other people request it, or if I see it's common across other players, I may revisit the decision :]
