A shuffle play of all tracks begins if none of the tracks on the player have a release year assigned to them.

If all the tracks on the player that have a release year assigned have the same release year, or some of tracks have the same release year and the rest of them have no released year assigned, the player automatically plays a random shuffle of the tracks from that year, and “Shuffle play songs released in 2005” (for example) is displayed.
