    Make random shuffle actually random
    
    Currently the randomness in the random shuffle is implemented by
    returning a random result in a sort function, which is not very random
    at all. In practice, it results in songs close to the start of the list
    being sorted first.
    
    To fix this, we can simply assign a random integer to each song and
    compare them in the sorting function, to make the results consistent.
    
    Yes, I know this probably isn't a great way to implement a random
    shuffle in a music player app. We would probably want to write our own
    list model to handle smarts like "don't sort two songs from the same
    artist next to each other." But that requires effort, whereas what I've
    done here is simple and works.
    
    Fixes #369
