My iTunes Shuffle Baker's Dozen 9-8-09

I haven't done an iTunes or iPod shuffle in a while. I've been trying to put together a playlist of my favorite uptempo/dance/disco-type songs, and right now I'm leaning towards a large list with hundreds of songs, because I can't narrow it down to 15 or 20. So I've been listening to that particular collection, still a work in progress.

I'd love to know exactly how iTunes selects songs in shuffle mode. Is it entirely random? Does it take into account how much music by a particular artist you have, or how much of a particular genre? And why does it seem like, in the most recent version, there are more repeats, either of an artist or an album? There's a repeat in this list, just 9 songs apart. It annoys the heck out of me...

Treat Me Right-Adeva
Who Will Save Your Soul-Jewel
I Need You (live)-Eurythmics
Baby You're My Light-Richard Hawley
Could I Have This Kiss Forever-Whitney Houston/Enrique Iglesias
Can't Stop-Madonna
Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks-Panic! At The Disco
Can You Feel It-The Jacksons
Dear Yoko-John Lennon
Promises, Promises-Dionne Warwick
Together Let's Find Love-The 5th Dimension
(My My) Baby's Gonna Cry-Eurythmics
Your Hurtin' Kinda Love-Dusty Springfield
