(and now that I have had my caffeine..) Since I am too lazy to do the math, we'll pretend you have 365 artists in your library.
If you choose 23 random tracks, then, you have a 50% or so chance that two of the tracks will be by the same artist. If you choose 30 random tracks, then about 70% of the time two will be by the same artist. For 50 tracks, you're at 99% chance of repeated artists. If you have less artists, then the chances go up, of course... and if you have 365 albums, well, replace "artist" with "album" above. Ie, with 365 albums, choosing 50 random tracks will almost always have at least two tracks from the same album. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59041 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
