Bug Description
I'd like to get the ability to shuffle a selection within a playlist - not just the entire playlist. For example, I could highlight 1/2 of a playlist, right click, and hit shuffle.
This is great when you have a playlist that's already playing, and you add new things to it. If you want to randomize those new things, you can't shuffle the whole list - what's played might move to the bottom, and what hasn't played might move to the top. Thus, shuffle a selection.
I've attached a patch with this functionality to the bug report. It adds a menu item to the playlist's right click menu that will randomize the order of the selected items;

Hm, I'm not really sure I like having this in the context menu. We had a lot of stuff in the context menu in 0.2.x and it was getting a little too large to navigate easily. Perhaps it could go next to the "Randomize Playlist" option in the tools menu instead, since they are related tools?
