Vista Media Centre - shuffle issues?
Anyone noticed this. I have a music library upwards of 20gig (so a fair bit). Its all indexed and in the correct "watched" folders.
But...
Despite this huge collection, when in random/shuffle mode and on "play all". It keeps playing the same songs/artists - as in its not totally random. I perhaps hear 300 of the same song over and over (some more than others)whilst the 5000 odd songs remain unheard and rarely played.
Its like there is some bug in the algorithm used to randomise the playlist (noticed it seems to affect media player too).
Its come to a point that I've had to take certain albums out of the watched folders because I got fed of the damn thing repeatedly playing certain songs from them all the time (for example, it had an annoying habit of playing alot of Dido tracks...so it had to go
).
Anyone else noticed this? A cure would be nice too.

Nope, never ever touched that feature (even on WMP)
Also the whole content was imported from my old PC so it was all listed at the same time.
