I have 864 songs on my mini. WHY IN THE FUCK does it play the same songs all the time when I'm playing the entire contents on shuffle?

Is it programmed to play the "most frequently played" or something?

What do I need to clear out to hear some different shit?? I routinely "restore" the damn thing b/c it seems to be the only way to get the battery to last.

DAMMIT!

if i were in a less cloudy state of mind right now i'd so see what i could do...
but i can't right....now




edit...n stuff.

Is that song "Everywhere" (track 5 from The Rainbow Children)?

If so, what's the problem?

I don't think it's on here

CalhounSq said:

Please.

It doesn't reset automatically sometimes. Unshuffle the songs and shuffle them again and it should work.

Thank you for offering an actual solution instead of some damn picture

Delete the songs that keep playing, I am sure you have had enough of them by now.

That should fix the problem. Repeat the process as needed.

It doesn't apparently have a true random number generator (same with Windows Media Player for instance). Ipod has a clock in it, it would be easy to create something similar based on it but manufacturers don't bother. I thought this kind of programming laziness should have died away already in the 90s.

i have the exact same problem with my windows playlists i play in Wmp.
there are over 30 Gb worth of songs on there and yet it always churns
out the same songs each and every time i put it on shuffle.

my husbands 400 disc cd changer does the same thing on random.. very annoying..

I never have this problem with my Sony. Haters.

I have the same problem. My solution is to rate all of my songs and get rid of anything two stars or less. That way, you'll never hear a song you don't like.

My husbands changers are Sony- he has the same problem with both of them 200 & 400. So now they are both hooked up so once one stopps the other one plays keeps it more random that way..


Imago- please stop posting that creepy guys pic- he gives me nightmares!!!
