I've been listening to my iPod on the shuffle setting the last couple of days. Here's the artists from the first 10 songs I heard on shuffle:
The Cranberries, The Cranberries, Natalie Cole, The Cranberries, Hunters and Collectors, Eric Clapton, BB King, Elvis Costello, Eric Clapton, Eric Clapton
Doesn't seem so random. I really don't have that many Cranberries and Eric Clapton songs on the iPod. In fact, the odds of getting three Cranberries and three Eric Clapton songs in the first ten work out to be about one chance in 115,000,000... Given the number of U2 songs currently on my iPod, it's actually more likely that I would get ten U2 songs in a row.
Am I a geek or what?
By the way, the Eric Clapton/BB King/Elvis Costello set (songs six through eight) were Cocaine/Let The Good Times Roll/Clubland. "Intelligent shuffle" perhaps?

But on an iPod 'Nana' you should be getting a message telling you that it's cold and to put a cardigan on!
Well it does that too. And offers hot tea with scones. A bargain at US$200.
New toy huh? Were you a typical male when you got it or did you read the instructions before turning the thing on?
I skimmed the quick start sheet. It's a fairly intuitive toy.
Am I a typical male? According to my wife that depends on the day...
