I suppose Winamp and iTunes are both good, or at least better than most others. I don't use mp3 players on the computer or as a portable device anymore. I did back in 2002-3 though.

I got off those headphones, and into the surround sound.

Is there such a thing as a truly random track selection with these players?

I think that's why sites like last.fm were created. I don't know though, since I don't use those either.

[pbradley]

Computers can't generate random numbers (i.e. the enigma machine) but complex equations are good enough.
