I mainly dont want to hear a playlist that starts with the same tune every time and then progresses through the same order of tunes when I select Random.
So often, in Google Play Music selecting random will play any of of 10 pre-set playlist cues.... The tunes will be a mix of one big polaylist that just starts at various points on the master playlist. This is why I often run across the same tunes, and why they follow each other in the exact same order.
e.g.
Normal Play Cue: A-B-C-D-E-F-G
Random is selected -
Random play attenpt 1. B-A-C-D-F-G-E (Several tunes present on the micro SD card never play)
Random play attenpt 2. F-G-E-B-A-C-D (Several tunes present on the micro SD card never play)
Random play attenpt 3. B-F-G-E-A-G-E (Several tunes present on the micro SD card never play)
I prefer the "Shuffle" feature I guess if you want to look at the semantic side of this discussion, where not tune is played twice or in the same order whenever the random button is pressed, and every time I press random, the player should recall the last tune, and pick a new playable tune each time the skip button is pressed or after the prior tune comes to an end.
