I am using random for generating music play list. I have found that it is not random enough. It keeps playing the same tracks. I have even wrote a cache of recently played tracks so that it tries harder. Obviously it's a band aid. Yes I am just talking about "feeling" here. I don't know how to prove that random does not work. Is it even possible? On a side note are we using /dev/random? -- Ivan Kanis http://ivan.kanis.fr Wisdom denotes the pursuing of the best ends by the best means. -- Francis Hutcheson I am listening to "Captain Beefheart - Im Gonna Booglarize You Baby".
