There should be a way for users to mark music to be excluded during shuffle play

[Nathan Dyer]

I have a lot of instrumental music and soundtracks in my library that I like to listen to while coding, working, reading, etc. There are many times when I enjoy shuffling all the songs in my library, but every time one of those instrumental songs comes up, I immediately skip to the next "real" song. It would be lovely to be able to mark tracks or albums to not be included in the library shuffle so I only hear that music when I explicitly request to listen to it.

iTunes and most other music players have this option. Here's a little more info on the feature as it is implemented in other platforms: http://ipod.about.com/od/advanceditunesuse/ss/skip_shuffling.htm#step2
