My music player spends its life on random play so the subject is quite important to my listening pleasure. When hard disk players first came out I bought the Sony Walkman and after some time I found that it played many of the same tracks again.
After contacting Sony and getting no joy I decided to try the IPod and have found that it is much the same so naturally I cursed them too.
But after thinking about it, it is an incredibly hard thing to get right; sure the programmers could make it play every track until they were all played and then start again in a different order.
Now if I have 2000 songs on my music player I would have to wait 1999 songs to hear that first one again, somehow has to be related to mood or something else.
It’s a conundrum!
