I don't think the new algorithm works as expected. Every time I start
random mix it starts with 5-6 Grateful Dead songs. Sure there is a lot
of Dead in my library, but I sure prefer the old more random mix, it
seemed to be much more random. Now the mix starts always with Dead and
pretty much always contains same three or four artists out of over 8000
artists in my music library. Could choosing the algorithm be an option?
