It helps a little but still doesn't make sense. My cuts played in sequential order 1 2 3 4 5 before I changed all play sequence values to 1 for random. Then they played in different order ex. 12534. But they ALWAYS play in that order... they are never randomized again.
I thought if random retired it wouldn't do it the first time. ...and wow it retired just before the first Rivendell?
