You know if you count all the empeg owners that have the same song repeated three times on their units (I have at least three versions of "Closer To The Heart"), and the number of times they have shuffled the contents of their player, and the odds being 720,000 that one of these shuffles would hit three songs in a row- its really not outside the realm of possibility that he could have just been the "lucky" one. I too have felt the player's "random" is not quite right - but I'm not sure of it. Keep in mind these three songs he was talking about were not all on the same album, and we don't even know if they were loaded close to one another. If not, this "broken randomness" would work against his odds of getting the three songs in a row. Of course, he probably loaded them all on at the same time so they are probably close, but still not on the same album. Just my observations
