Review request for Amarok.


Summary
-------

When playing albums, I want add a delay between albums. Each album should 
ideally be played seamlessly, but jumping with not even a second's delay to a 
random album creates a very jarring effect. This is a preliminary patch to add 
a few seconds' pause in random album mode.

Questions:
1) UI. If this makes the cut, I guess there should be a config for it. The play 
modes menu is getting a bit cluttered, so perhaps it could be slightly 
re-engineered. I'll think about it if there is a chance of the feature being 
shipped.
2) Do we want this option to be available in normal album traversal? Adding a 
few seconds between albums, possibly with config, seems very sensible to me.

Also, the RandomAlbums mode needs some love. It currently ignores the favouring 
code which the UI suggests it should follow, and is less clever than the 
favoured track mode at avoiding playing the same thing again based on history. 
Would it be OK to fix that?

So, if I write it, will you take it, or is this feature not wanted?
