The last working copy I had was one in which there was a random number generator selecting random songs directly from the song list, meaning that songs were re-played before every song had been played once. Since this sciprt goes into a 'javascript module' in a webjournal, the opportunity to write separate scripts is limited. It also doesn't help that there are no Javascript IDE's available. As far as I know, the problem lies within some small syntax error. Or, it may be a completely different problem. Due to the lack of output when Javascript crashes, I just don't know.
