If you click "listen to radio" in your profile, it plays randomly.

well, pseudo-randomly - if you click play radio twice in a short period of time, it will start over at the same song (and play the same songs in the same order). I'm not sure how often it resets itself, but it can be annoying to listen for 30 minutes, go to a meeting (I really do work while I'm at work), come back and have it start at the same songs I've already listened to. The only thing I can figure is that they must have done it to make it possible to listen to the previous song. It would be nice if there were a way to force it to pick new songs, though.

Yeah, there needs to be a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_seed]random seed[/url] button that you can click and it switches seeds so you can set a new 'random' up.

Or store seed value so you can continue in the (Random) path you were in previously. Pure random doesn't quite work either as you'd hope to scale songs by frequency that they'd been played from the random order previously.
