In reply to:

I meant a "what sequence have the songs been played in" counter. This would be a single, unique, static value that was global to the entire unit. Sort of like the odometer on your car. Each time a song was played, this "odometer" value would be incremented. Each song would get that odometer value recorded with it as soon as it was played. Every song on the unit would have a unique odometer value (once it had been played at least once). As soon as a song was played, all the other songs with lower odometer values would suddenly take a higher weight for the next shuffle. A newly-synched song would indeed come up first in the shuffle, but it would only play once before it was weighted to the back of the shuffle again.

That's a very good idea tony; if for no other reason then the geekiness statistical value of it...
