When “random” shouldn’t be
Software developers need to learn that some things should be truly random and others should only be “mostly” random.
I love the “random shuffle” feature in Musicmatch that will pick songs randomly from my playlist. But I’d sure love it more if it could remember not to pick anything that it’s already played today. I’d settle for not playing anything it had played in the last 50 songs.
Here I’ve got repetition twice in less than 15 songs and once, there’s only one song between the repeat. Someone should have thought of, and prevented, that.
