Shuffle Logic UPDATED
I rarely use the "shuffle" feature on my iPod but I had to drive into work yesterday so I turned it on before placing the iPod into my transponder.
Way cool. I got to listen to a bunch of the 895 songs on my iPod that I rarely listen to. I should do this more often.
I'm still mystified by how the iPod selects the music. Is it completely random? Is there a pattern? It seemed to me that the iPod was playing a disproportionate number of Diaspora Band and Eitan Katz tunes early in the shuffle. Anyone have any insights?
UPDATE: Issac points out that I am not the first to wonder about shuffle choices

This is a burning question that has plagued man since the beginning of time . . ., well, for at least a few years. Newsweek did a piece on it last month. Here's the link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6854309/site/newsweek/
By the way, what's a transponder?

It is funny you mention that because Diaspora comes up on mine all the time too.
Perhaps it is a carefully constructed conspiracy by Avraham Rosenblum.
