I'm actually thinking that when I select 'Shuffle' on its own, I just don't
want it to re-use a song too often if it can avoid it.

I don't think I would ever want my large collection of music to do that, but
perhaps if I just selected a subset, like a single album, that might be what
I'm looking for.

Colin, I agree with your definition that shuffle+repeat says "random
ordering without worrying about playing all songs before repeating"
