I have a playlist of 140        AA>> tunes (8-9hrs) shuffle mode and I don't hear the same song more than        AA>> once.                      AA> Ok.. I did do the math. To hear the same song "a hundred times         AA> a day", assuming a 9hr day, that would mean the same song would         AA> play about 11 times an hour, and considering that the song is         AA> about 3 min long, that would mean that the playlist is just 2         AA> songs!               AA> Sure, I can accept that the phrase "a hundred times a day" is         AA> just an expression, but mathimatically, it would mean that TWO         AA> songs would be heard all day! Therefore, it probably wouldn't         AA> matter WHAT those two songs are. Just hearing the same two         AA> songs over and over (a hundred times a day) would drive anyone         AA> crazy.               AA> I heard "Santa Baby" (hurry down the chimney tonight.. etc)         AA> ..now THAT is one tune I can live without.               AA> --        AA> ../|ug                     Have you not heard of "Whamageddon"? It's when the *other* song plays...              JD              --- AfterShock/Android 1.6.8        * Origin: FireCat Mobile (4:920/1.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/21 3/1 15/0 90/1 92/0 1 103/705 105/81 106/201 114/705       SEEN-BY: 123/120 124/5016 129/305 134/100 153/141 149 757 7715 203/0       SEEN-BY: 218/700 840 220/70 221/0 6 226/17 30 229/110 111 112 113       SEEN-BY: 229/114 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120 5832 250/5 8       SEEN-BY: 267/800 280/464 282/1038 292/8125 298/25 301/1 305/3 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 100 340 772/220 230 920/0 1 69 2320/105       PATH: 920/1 153/757 280/464 310/31 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
