Is it just me...

I have 310 albums, quite a few of which are multi disc, and yet, iTunes only seems to cycle through about 30 discs if I leave it on repeat all.

Really, is it so hard to ask that it never play a song again until it has gone through every other song available?

Oh, and remember where you were so you don't START OVER every time I have to restart.

I really don't think I'm asking much. The logic here isn't terribly difficult, but Apple don't seem to grasp it.

Shuffle everything, repeat all of it, nothing gets played more than once until the entire library has been cycled through, and remember where you left off between sessions.

In a program the size of iTunes, there's no reason why it can't do this.

Ten THOUSAND? And I thought the 3985 I have were overkill. Most of what's in my library I want to hear though. The few things I don't want to hear, I just uncheck and they don't get played.

As for the randomization, maybe it branches a bit, but in general, it has about 5 - 10 discs it plays tracks out of at a time (and cycles new ones in as it runs out of tracks on the current list), and it seems to always start with the same song and use the discs in the same approximate order, so I feel like I'm always hearing the same tracks over and over. It definitely always starts with the same song.

"And I thought the 3985 I have were overkill."

That's a lot of copies of one Men At Work song.

I like Men At Work. Do you come from the land down under?
