Zack, It appears you don't understand randomness very well. With a single die, you can roll a 1 six times, and that is random, although it is NOT an even distribution.
To resolve your issue, I usually add a limit on the Played Count when creating a Smart list. This forces the distribution to be even, but, you can still randomly play the same song more than once in a row. Peter.

I can see if there was some variance, but a few tracks play > 90+ times and 1/4 play 6 or 7 times? Wat's going on?
