is there a way to make  ORDER BY RAND()  at bit more spontaneous ?
I am using it in a php statement:
$sql = "SELECT media.id,
                artist.name as artist,
                artist.spanish as bio,
                artist.purchaseLink,
                artist.picture,
                media.spanish as trackName,
                media.path,
                media.quality,
                mediaType.id as mediaType
                FROM artist, media, playlistItems, mediaType
                WHERE playlistItems.playlist_id = $myID
                AND playlistItems.media_id = media.id
                AND media.artist_id = artist.id
                AND media.mediaType_id = mediaType.id
        ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0, 30";


the result seems to be pretty predictable ....
is there a way to improve RAND() or is there something better ?
