I use my empeg a little differently than most, but under my scheme I have a solution. I have a playlist called "Jeff Radio" that is a list of songs seperated into seperat folders by artist. It pulls one song out of these folders at random so I get a good mix of songs by different artists.

The actual way I bind the songs is by putting them together in a sub playlist that only contains two songs. When ever this playlist is select at random both songs get played together. If I wanted the second song to play by itself sometimes I would put it alone next to the "bound" playlist and sometimes I would get both songs (in order) and sometimes just the second one by itself.

Of course this doesn't work when you use the player in shuffle mode, but it works the way I use the player so I thought you might like to know.
