Some small confusion with the random function

(1/2) > >>

Mithrandir:
I could swear that when I first installed Rockbox and tried the random function it worked like this:

1. I go to file and play a directory. It plays song number 1/31 and when I press next it played for example 9/31 and so on.

2. It then stopped doing this (I messed around a lot with settings etc.), and instead just played song number 1/31 and then 2/31 and so on.

I then thought something was wrong with the function and tried reinstalling and a lot of other things. After some reading I see that the playlist is randomized when first playing the directory so it is in fact random, just not like the conventional way (1). To conclude I was just wondering if I was hallucinating when I saw it working like in (1)?

JdGordon:
its called shuffle not random for a reason. It works as expected

Mithrandir:
Oh, my mistake. But do you have an explanation for my question? Maybe I just saw wrong?

JdGordon:
1. you had shuffle on
2. you turned shuffle off

Mithrandir:
No, when I have shuffle on it does like I descibe in 2.
