Respect current shuffle setting #35

Hi, @Tyilo. I have an idea for Play Song that I'd like to discuss with you.

Currently, Play Song forcefully disable shuffle mode before playing its queue in iTunes. This ensures that albums/playlists always play in the correct order. However, I am beginning to realize that forcefully disabling shuffle was not the best approach when I initially wrote v2.0. Therefore, I propose that we update the workflow to respect the current shuffle setting for the following reasons:

  1. Play Song would no longer require access to assistive devices
  2. Some iTunes users prefer to always or sometimes play albums/playlists on shuffle
  3. Play Song cannot disable shuffle for non-English systems anyway (recall issue #24)

As always, I welcome your feedback before I proceed to implement this.

I never use the shuffle functionality myself, but I agree with you and think you should go for it ;)
