MP3 Player Shuffle Taste Factor
I had to drive 400 miles on Sunday. I compiled a single CD full of MP3's - probably 140 songs - a big cross-section of stuff I thought might be fun listening for the whole family as we struggled through Southern England.
The MP3 player was set to shuffle/random and I stopped the car probably 10 times which re-set the player from scratch.
So how come "Cortez the Killer" by Neil Young came up 4 times whereas Robbie's "Feel" didn't appear at all?
I had 6 Fountains of Wayne songs of which only 2 played once each, while my single Leonard Cohen choice, "Who by Fire" came up 3 times.
Why did it choose these songs? What does it have against Robbie Williams? And why is it so keen on Anastacia?
