Tag and Shuffle Multiple Artists, Albums or Playlists

There should be a way to mix your music by tagging more than one thing.
One of the most popular features of today's music players is the ability to shuffle your music. The trouble is you only have a few ways to do it. You can select an individual artist, album or category... or shuffle your entire collection. So in a nutshell, you don't have that much control.
Let's say you're in the mood for some Pink Floyd, but you'd also like to hear The Beatles and maybe Tony Bennett. Right now, you can shuffle any of them individually, but there's no way to create a mix that contains all three.
The solution is to offer a way to tag multiple items with a checkbox, then combine them on-the-fly into an instant mix. The only way to do that right now is to create a new Playlist, then individually add the songs you want. While that may get the job done, it's a tedious process and you'll eventually have a ton of new playlists that you may not want to keep indefinitely.
A Tag and Shuffle option would allow you to create instant mixes on the fly that fit your mood, then decide whether you want to save them as a permanent playlist.
