  You might want to give the Random Mix dynamic playlist a shot. It will play 
tracks from your entire collection in random order, and because it shows a 
sort of playback queue rather than pulling in the entire collection, it will 
automatically take new tracks added to the collection into account. Hope this 
works for you :) (what you're describing (loading the entire collection and 
playing that in random) is a more xmms-ish or winamp-ish way of handling 
playback, and isn't really what Amarok is designed for - the dynamic 
playlists try and solve the same sort of use case, but in a different, more 
featureful manner)
