This is one of my favourite things about psychology, perception and programming.
When people say they want to "randomly shuffle a playlist", they really don't want that. They want the perception of randomness, but _true_ random doesn't abide by rules.
If you're actually random, there is a probability that it might just play all the songs straight through. Or just pick songs by a single artist back-to-back.
