In the music player when I select "shuffle" the song are not in random order. the player has some method of finding similar song that it plays if shuffle is selected.

To confirm that it doesn't select random songs i selected one specific song and then let it "shuffle" to 14 other songs and I wrote down the order of the song it played, I did this three times and every single time it played exactly the same songs in exactly the same order!

Is there a option some where to select truly random shuffle?



Thanks!  Smiley

Don't think so....if your songs are numbered maybe remove the numbers before the song title and see if that helps.
haven't seen any definite answers to this yet

I've even deleted the playlist only to have it recreated the same way...but I haven't dug any deeper to see what works...

I agree...i think the way it shuffles is linear. no matter how you put them on it will almost always shuffle the same way.....ive yet to see a shuffle that actually goes for a random song

"random" numbers... not so random. The random number generator needs a seed that should be "different" everytime (for example , a date/time stamp). It seems they did not payed attention to that...

I've never known a "non" shuffle issue.  If I hit "play all songs shuffle" it plays random songs, if I exit the music but when I come back and just hit player>play, it'll play the songs in the same order.  but if I hit "play all songs>shuffle" again, it randomly shuffles the songs again, in a different order.

and if its playing them in the same order for you, hit the shuffle button to deactivate, and then hit re-activate it, it should change the order.  at least mine does.
