ya i know it is pretty stupid. It isnt random, I have a feeling it picks several predetermined indexes on the cd, and just uses them for random. It would have been really easy just to have made a random program so I really don't know why they did it that way.

the random works for each folder, not the whole disk for the MP3's, kinda weird, but I have just been puttin all my songs in one folder since I figured that out, and the random works fine now

the random button also lets you "play" the entire MP3 cd, and even then, it seems like it chooses only a few songs for its "random" list.
