Similar to Itunes there should be Shuffle by album mode, which plays a complete album and then randomly plays another album in the playlist.

I believe that without this functionality that sonos is fundamentally broken. Until this is fixed I won't be extending my system. If it isn't fixed soon I'll be selling what I have and buying something that caters for people who listen to classical music. Bluetooth and a cheap app should do.
Definitely need shuffle albums with keep song order! There's money (Sonos' to sell) to be made with that kind of feature! Otherwise gotta use some Python script to create playlists & store it on NAS which is entirely too much work.
I'm adding my support for this feature. I have around 2,000 albums in my collection, and quite often I'd just like to pick a random one to play. At the moment I just go to Songs, hit Shuffle All, see what it picks, then manually go to that album-and even then there doesn't seem to be a 'go to album' link from a given song like a lot of players have, which makes it even more laborious. I really can't see that this feature is that hard to implement. Can't be more than a couple of dozen lines of code...
