My random smartlists don't seem so random.
Here is an example of my smartlist: [media type]=[audio] ~t=120 ~sort=random -[Filename]=:// [Genre]=[Rock]
Most of my 1,200+ collection is tagged "Rock." In the resulting list it seems I always have back-to-back entries of the same artist or same album. For example, in the smartlist results that just came up songs 2 & 3 are by "Live" from the same album even though I only have 2 albums in my collection by that group. 4 songs are by Bruce Springsteen and 2 are back-to-back from his "Greatest Hits" album. Likewise I have 2 songs appearing back-to-back from the same Dave Matthews Band album. All this in a supposedly random selection of 25 songs from a 1,200+ database. And I have very few songs by those same artists.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I can live with one artists appearing multiple times in a 2 hours smartlist, but I at least wish they weren't back-to-back. Is this just the luck of the draw?
