Hack:ralbumd

From Music Player Daemon Community Wiki

Simple C daemon that polls mpd and plays a random album when the current playlist is finished. libmpd is required to compile, make sure you tell gcc to use it with -lmpd. There's probably a better way to detect the end of the current playlist, but this works for me.
