Do you prefer to play music with random tracks or sequentially through albums? Checking people around me it’s definitely one or the other.

i sometimes set random accross all my music when i dont really know what to listen to, but it’s rare… then when something shows up i feel like listening to, i go back to sequential, my ever-default
I do like the fact that you can be listening to an album (or albums by the same artist) in sequence, that you get hit with that track that blows your mind, where you may have forgotten how good it was, but listening to it as part of the album flow it just kicks in. Whereas I think random is good for listening to a whole lot of single-based songs without the deep cuts.
i have some hyper-thematic playlists in which i would rather confidently go random.
but my main playlist = all my music, and my taste is often too varied for random. i would go from Chopin to hardcore techno to African funk to experimental noise to Salsa, etc… that would quickly get too my nerves, especially the rapid changes of mood/speed etc… sometimes it’s good to help me decide about one mood/speed though…
