I feel you on curating and self-managing FLAC files. At the end of the day, it just wasn't worth the effort I used to spend managing them all.
I'm not sure what streaming app you use, but to accomplish your old method of listening on Apple Music at least, you could just go to each album you wanted to enjoy and add it to the Up Next queue a full album at a time. From there just set the queue to shuffle and it sounds like that would do what you're missing!
Maybe you've already tried that and ran into issues that I can't think of, but I've done something similar in the past and it was pretty capable at handling an ad-hoc workflow.
That Amarok 1.4 interface project sounds fun! Best of luck on it if you decide to tackle it!
