I suppose what I mean when I say this https://social.bau-ha.us/@LydiaConwell/106161392773645037 is:
If shuffling on a media player was anywhere close to random you wouldn't expect to frequently hear the same songs. So I think what I really want to know is:
Why is computer randomisation so bad?
Please answer as if you are talking to a simpleton who knows nothing.

Hi Lydia,
"Why is computer randomization so bad?"
Told you before; it depends on the algorithm.
Try search "random algorithm"
"Please answer as if..."
Install another media player. 🎧
Just curious: You're using Windows? 🙊
@mc @LydiaConwell ☝️☝️ This. Randomization is software, so some algos are better than others.
But some music randomization is probably governed by the companies making the player. They likely see more usage when songs are a little less random.
