Yep. I just followed your instructions (prior to reading your reply) and discovered that the playlist is in fact internally randomized. VERY POWERFUL (did I mention that already) and in fact exactly what I was looking for. If we could get a way of storing the methods for generating playlists (so that we could pass them around) that would be cool.

Tony, you're a stud. (or so I hear)

Thanks again,
Eric
