I've had a similar feeling/suspicion for quite some - would somebody familiar with the code care to comment? I'm not going to try to do the math here, but I imagine even with only 200 albums, one would have to play several thousand 'random' tracks to have a meaningful sample to demonstrate a random distribution, and I know my memory/perception isn't good enough to keep track of that! -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers WinXP SP2 Slimserver, SMC WBR14g router http://www.last.fm/user/nicketynick/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicketynick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33710 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
