>Users don't want a random playlist.
Really? Because I couldn't stand it if, after listening to my playlist several times, I could predict the exact order of the songs. That would be extremely boring, personally. In fact, that's the exact complaint of the user who asked the question:
>This frustrates me to no end because I like to listen to my music randomly, but I have a few favourite songs that I always start out with.

- baddox 14y agoWould you ever want the same song to play twice in a row? How about 10 times in a row?
- jrockway 14y agoThe probability of that happening decreases so quickly that it's not a realistic concern. Incidentally, today I had some song stuck in my head so I just listened to it on repeat for a while.
- jere 14y agoPreferably, no. But even if that was a problem, it would only be an occasional one. The predictable playlist would get on my nerves all the time. I suppose you'll then lecture me on how a random playlist has such undesirable properties. But I would have to disagree. Writing a psuedo-random shuffle mode that doesn't play songs twice in a row (or even one that doesn't repeat a single song in your playlist) is trivial.
