You're certainly right that repeating can be random, and that what Neil asked for in his follow-up post is non-random, or random without replacement. But the symptoms he described in his original post sound truly non-random. I have seen similar issues, although only at the artist or album level, not the track level. The frequency with which a given artist or album is repeated in the same playlist, especially near each other in the same playlist, seems too high to be random. But it's pretty easy to test formally, and one of these days I'll get around to it. -Ken -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21594 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
