That's what I suspect a lot of it is.  It all comes down to "mine's
bigger than yours."  :-D

On the plus side, your comment about Random Mix is very appropriate.  I
always wanted to post something in the forum about how seemingly
non-random Random Mix is.  Of the 2700 (actually it's 2800) tracks I
have, SlimServer Random Mix has ~100 favourites that I can almost
guarantee I'll hear every time I start Random Mix.  I also notice if
Random Mix picks an artist, there's a better-than-chance likelihood (I
give it 75%) that the next track it'll pick is by the same artist,
although interestingly never from the same album.

I didn't post this because I assume Random Mix uses a Perl random
function, so it can't be any more random than that.  Doesn't sound
random to me, but there's nothing that can be done to make it "more
random" in that case.

That's primarily why I'm adding tracks - to dilute the pool and get a
more random mix.  Still, there are some albums I've ripped that Random
Mix has never selected and I listen to Random Mix for 1-2 hours a day.
