Re: shuffling (was Re: ID3 tag question)

I agree. I think that when you add new songs to a shuffled playlist you
should a) hear all the new songs, b) not hear songs you've already heard
(until you repead), and c) still hear songs "shuffled" as much as
possible. Two options:
* The new songs are shuffled amongst themselves and appended to the
  shuffled list. This doesn't really satisfy (c).
* The new songs are shuffled amongst the remaining songs in the current
  shuffled list. This will change the song that you were expecting to
  hear next, but seems like it satisfies the criteria best.

Also, does the playlist re-shuffle when the whole list repeats? If not,
I propose that it should.
