I have been trying to say this for a long time. The randomization routines on the player leave something to be desired. I do not know why it happens. There have been some extremely long discussions on the BBS in the past about this.

When directly asked about this issue at the Wooside meet, Hugo simply said, "That's statistically interesting."

However, I get situations like the following:

- I have nearly two thousand songs on my player.

- I have exactly two songs on the player by Men At Work.

- I do a full shuffle of the player's root directory.

- The two Men At Work songs play within one song of each other, like this: "It's a Mistake", some other song, "Land Down Under".

This happens in larger scales, like:

- Song from Ray of Light
- some other random song
- Another song from Ray of Light
- some other random song
- Another song from Ray of Light
- some other random song
- Another song from Ray of Light

This has been happening since day one and is even happening on 2.0b3 with the Least Recently Played shuffle.
