OK, so this may not be all that interesting to everyone, but I did a little experiment with my iTunes library at work.
I have 1,088 songs in the library and have the "shuffle" button pressed. I pressed play and just let it run. All day. All night. And on and on...
So now, just over 3 full days later, I check the play count for the songs and...
About half of the songs havent been played yet, but others have been played multiple times. One song, Hustlers Ambition (the most recently purchased song) has been played 5 times. A bunch more have been played 4 times, and the majority have been played once.
That makes me wonder just how random the shuffle feature is. Does it randomly choose the songs you have played the most and work its way down the list that way? It must be random every single time it picks a new song, and put the song it just played back into the list of available songs, since some have been played so many times?
No point to this really, except that it struck me as interesting...
Anyone else experiment with the shuffle feature with similar results?
