2. I love the randomness of Ipod's shuffle. Yesterday I was getting my groove on down at the coop to Cypress Hill's 'cock the hammer' which was the latest in a long line of quality old school rap , metal and rock then from out of no ware Buddy Holly's 'that'll be the day'. I'd love to know the technology behind the 'randomness'.
