This is a question World of Random

There's a pile of scrap timber, rubble and general turds in the road opposite my work with a hand-written sign reading "Free Shed". Tell us about random, completely hatstand stuff and people you've seen

I put my iPod on shuffle
And heard a selection of my music in an order in which I wasn't able to predict. Though it wasn't quite random, because I had it on a setting from iTunes which makes it seem more random than it is, by actually making it less random, ensuring that two songs by the same artist would not directly follow each other, conveniently dealing with my likely inherent desire to look for patterns where there are none and think that my iPod knows my mood or something.

Would it be random if you set it to shuffle, and then every song played in correct, album order?
Or just unlikely?

It would be just as likely as any other order in which you cared to predict the songs would be played in

I've found that if I don't add to my music for a while on Itunes
or on the ipodshuffle thingy, it follows (or has followed, quite a number of times) exactly the same sequence on shuffle.

But no, not every song in album order

You're a boring pedantic twat?
