I, Pod

Anyone else think these wonderful inventions might have minds of their own? I have 836 songs on my traveling companion, a mere fraction of the 20 Gigs it can hold, but a good chunk of music nonetheless. I have not created any "Playlists," so all my songs are just there, in one big category. Thus, when I set my pod to "Shuffle - Songs," my firm belief is that it should play each of the 836 songs once, in random order, before repeating any song twice. But the little white guy apparently has already chosen some favorites. I've heard "Accidentally Kelly Street" by Frente 3 times, but am Waiting in Vain to hear "Butt Naked Booty Bless" by Poor Righteous Teachers and/or "Double Wide Paradise" by Toby Keith. Please, Pod, Variety is the spice of life. Surprise me.
