I think making shuffle+repeat do that may be too clever. It's definitely
not what I would expect. But you're probably right that we only need one
random, and I think that's the age+ranking one.

iTunes uses a 3-state button to pick between no-repeat, repeat, and
repeat-one-song. Do you think that would be a good idea to pick between
linear, shuffle, and random?
