Random, yes, but since Rhythmbox uses 'Shuffle', I'd use a deck of cards as the analogy. 'Shuffle' will then play the songs in a random order, but once the song is played, it is removed from the deck. > If you don't want a song to be played more than once, you somehow have > to put a random selection in the queue, where songs are removed > automatically as they are played. Playing one song twice should only happen when you have both 'Shuffle' and 'Repeat' on - or else there wouldn't be any point in having the 'Repeat'-button.
