Random Play by Album?

I'm absolutely new to the iPod. I have a question that seems to be real basic, but I'm not finding any info on it, in the manual, in the book I got, or here.

I'd like to play music randomly, but I want to hear it an album at a time. I assume I should be using a playlist for this, but I don't see any way to create a playlist that randomly selects a particular album, then plays all the songs from that album, in order, before randomly selecting another album.

Is there a way to make this happen, or am I out of luck? (Is it possible to do it with threading? Is it possible to do it with threading without going through and threading each individual song on an album to the song before it?)

And if there's already a complete explanation available somewhere, please just point me in the right direction.

Thanks much!
David

Under Settings > Shuffle, just select Album instead of Songs.
