Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] play in random order

[Gisli Ottarsson <gisli ottarsson mscsoftware com>]

I would also suggest that in random mode the current song should be
slightly less likely to be played again right away.  I would even argue
that a random selection could be interpreted as meaning any song,
*other* than the song just played.

The purists out there will argue that the random is random, but I think
this would be closer to what a user expects.  It always seems strange 
when the same song is played many times in a row, which becomes fairly
probable when there are very few songs selected.
