The change from the menu setting should only apply to that playlist; the change does not persist. Then, Chad can leave the shuffle bit on by default, but use the key combo to play his audio books. I think we still have remaining key combos for the player in the tree view, unless some have been added in the last 1-2 days. I'd also like to see an option that disables shuffle for directories, but not playlists, since I almost never want to shuffle my directories. While I'm on the topic of key combos, another one I'd like is one to pop the tree view back to the currently playing song.
