Is way better than random....trying to figure out what song playing, that you can't quite remember the title, comes after 'Boomin Granny' (Born in a Flea Market)

Bottlerocket...can't say I saw that one coming.

My guess for next track: Bows and Arrows

Will update shortly

Do you consider shuffle more random?

I started off on shuffle, it went to L and right away I got "Lonesome Suzie" and "Long Black Veil" by The Band.
Still, a good idea.

D'oh! Now I've got another Band song; "Long Distance Operator"
What the hell? And I just loaded this disc the other day.

Well shuffle=random which is definitely more random than ABC order, which is the complete opposite of random.

Well, I obviously realize that...you could sort your songs by 'Last Word Spoken in Song' and while it would not be theoretically random, it would lead to a random list to the human ear. Even with the shuffle algorithm it is not truly random...there is a logic behind it.

<computer scientist>computers are not capable of true randomness, and actually do a very poor job at simulating it.</computer scientist>

the ipod seems even worse than most computers at this. and wilked is right - the first time you play through by song title, it's effectively as random as playing on "shuffle."
