Why does my car stereo always play the same songs when set to random?

I've noticed this with the past two stereos I've had for my car. My first stereo played MP3 CD's and the one now takes a 2GB flash drive loaded with MP3's. The problem is that when I set the stereo to random, it seems like it picks the same songs all the time. For example, when I turn on my stereo, for some reason it doesn't remember that when it was turned off it was on randomize. So it'll start playing the first song on my flash drive. Then I press the randomize button, and probably 50% of the time it "randomizes" to Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson. Then there's like a set of maybe 10 songs or so that it'll play a lot more frequently than other songs. My stereo that played MP3 CD's did the same thing. It has hundreds of songs to choose from, so it's definitely not a freak coincidence... Anyone have the same problem or any ideas why this happens?Why does my car stereo always play the same songs when set to random?
Since there is no real way to generate a "true" random number, the stereo has a few programs to calcultae a random number. Unfortunealty it's the same calculation most of the time which results in so many hits on the same set of songs.



One possible way to overcome this is to add or delete a few songs so the calculation is a little off.



I've noticed this with Windows Media player and I'm assuming this is what's happening to you.Why does my car stereo always play the same songs when set to random?
