Can any of you math wizards tell me why when I select

"shuffle" while playing music through iTunes (or whatevs), it shuffles through the same 30 ####### songs every time, even though I have a catalog of 500 +?
I'm sick of fast forwarding past Ben Folds Five.

Itunes uses a predictive algorithm to "randomly" play songs that it thinks you will like based on the number of plays

running, just debating whether you should go ahead and hit that button on the remote to close the garage door, it's also a good song to help you decide.

song that I know of that I actually enjoyed listening to. It would be my soundtrack of choice for self-immolation, though, or if I wanted to wander aimlessly in the wilderness until coyotes tore me asunder.
I did actually see them live (at unnamed music festival in Manchester, TN) and it was really a miserable show. It may have ruined them for me.

There's very little music that is an acquired taste for me..
Mar 4, 2016, 11:21 AM

usually my first impressions end up being my last impressions.
Radiohead is one I came around on, Pink Floyd is another. I didn't even go to the concert in Death Valley when I was at Clemson (wish I had now) because I was so indifferent, but the older I get, the more I realize that what they were doing was genius.

Every time I turn my radio off in my car
Mar 4, 2016, 10:24 AM

it turns the random setting off on the ipod. This results in it starting again with a random song which means that I'm often all like "I just heard this gotdang song". I feel your pain, although luckily it doesn't replay all the same songs. The ipod has 7077 songs, I just want to hear every gotdang one of them in random order.

could be the bitmap in the mainframe, too. But you end up wasting a lot of time if you don't make sure the algorithm is running smooth first
