Exactly what I have been searching for: Import multiple local files (import folders would be helpful), allow shuffel. I do not need any more. Thanks!

It's okay. It's annoying that I can't add a folder of music, but have to add each file. Since my music is organized by artist/album, I have to go to every album directory to add the songs. Not any better than ChromeOS Gallery.
