The Truth Is Out There
I am deeply suspicious of the random play function in Windows Media Player. Many, many very dedicated work hours have been spent downloading music from the web, and I must say, I'm rather proud of the 3000 or so odd songs I've (somewhat illegally) acquired. Why then, when I whack on the random play, do I tend to hear very similar play lists from day to day? Is there some statistical abnormality/trend/truism here that I'm missing? (*shiver* was never very good with stats - please explain in little words)
At the risk of betraying an unhealthy leaning towards anthropomorphism - maybe my laptop's trying to tell me something... maybe Matilda doesn't like my taste in music... hmmm...
It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma & presented in a riddle.

You will have to run media player in random mode for thousands of times to see a truely random behavior :).
Well I'll be darned. Ask and ye shall recieve. Thanks stats-man!
