Q: Different shuffle options for different playlists

OS  X 10.11.6 (15G1004)

iTunes 12.5.1

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)

 

I seem to recall that, way back when, different playlists could have different shuffle options. For example, I want my Broadway Musicals playlist to shuffle by album. And Rock and Pop should shuffle by song. Currently I have to change the shuffle option each time I switch playlists. Is there a way to get this to work?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

    No, that was a long time ago and I don't think there's even a way to "shuffle-by-album" anymore (i.e. play an album in normal track sequence, then randomly select track #1 of another album and play that one in sequence).

    I can still shuffle by album. Controls/Shuffle/songs-albums-groupings. I was just hoping it could be set by playlist, rather than as an overall setting. Thanks, though -- especially for conforming my aging memory of being able to do that.
