This is the difference between "randomize" and "random": * "randomize": shuffle the whole playlist, and play it through. Once it is done, shuffle again the whole and play etc.. * "random": pick a random track every time we need a new track. Note that in both case you may have a track being played twice. For "randomize" mode, it could be that the last track being played ended up being the first track after shuffling the playlist again.. Not very likely for huge playlists, though :-) Romain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
