Banshee is useful as it is, with loads of features that other players do not
have. Please stop thinking that your (edge) use-case is the only use-case a
media player should support, and that it is useless if it doesn't support it.

In the first place, as I explained in Bug #1094953, you were obviously confused
about the role of a play queue in the media player when you clearly needed a
playlist, and that there *is* a shuffle button in the play queue that randomizes
the order of the play queue.
