Comments on: Is the iPod Shuffle Really Shuffle ? – Part Two - http://esteve.tizos.net/archives/is-the-ipod-shuffle-really-shuffle-part-two/ A personal blog with my own opinions, experiences and stuff I'm interested on.

No conclusions yet, maybe in a third post, I need help from some mathematician or statistic, do you know any ? :-) 2. Audio files have non constant length, they vary depending on the length of the number, but it wouldn't be much hard to make them constant length, maybe in a forth post... 3. Yes!! It is a real pity. See you! Hi!

A few remarks I want to make about your post: 1. What are your conclusions? If you have reached any. 2. How long are the audio files you use? Do all of them have the same length? If not, I suggest you to retry the experiment with files of the same length. This should give a clue to see if iPod uses song length as a randomizing principle. 3. It's a pitty that iPod can't play while it's plugged in. Because then you have a limited amount of time to take samples for your experiment. One way to get more samples would be to shorten 'songs' length. Keep up the good work!! Hi Esteve!
