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,
change the seed on the random function.

In the below query, the results first row is usually the same 3-4
tracks out of 30.
so should I use PHP to generate a random seed, $r, and pass that to the
query ?
ORDER BY RAND($r)
or, can it be done just with mysql
many thanks
