I have a library of over 1000 songs but I tend to find that even though its on shuffle, I only hear about 200 or so of them. Its even more annoying on one of my playlists for my car because I dont have all music on there but still the same problem remains.Has anyone ever had this issue and if so, what did they do to solve it?Grateful for any help! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/1xtra/F1865405?thread=7031392&latest=1#p87639427 2009-10-27T14:54:57 Why doesnt this guy get more props. He is up there with Rodney P,Blak Twang and Roots Manuva in my eyes!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/1xtra/F1865405?thread=6995225&latest=1#p87596626 2009-10-26T16:07:35
