Check out MoodShuffle at http://www.moodshuffle.com It figures out what you want to hear each time you run it. It is pretty freaky the way it picks songs sometimes, but it seems to work. Like I never would have added certain songs in the same playlist, but it did, and I liked it. You might not need to create an elaborate series of playlists.

If someone could help me out and tell me how to fix this I would really appreciate it because its driving me crazy. Thanks for the replys.

Thanks for pointing out the playlist option - I had asked for something like this a long time ago and wasn't aware that this feature had been added. It snuck in at some time, so that's fantastic news. Looks like I'm going to be playing around with playlists a bit more ... although I'm still committed now to listening to *every* album in my collection. So far I'm up to D (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007Y8830/002-9019653-9708854?v=glance&n=5174">DJ Format - If you can't join 'em, beat 'em'</a>) Oh wow!

Have another look at the first drop down box you'll see 'playlist' in it. By creating two playlists and combining them in a third you can create the elusive [(this OR that) AND this] logic. Also I have a playlist called 'not played much or recently'. Which is a smart list which includes all songs that have been played less than 5 times or haven't been played for 3 months. This way I get to listen more to the stuff I've added recently while dipping into stuff I haven't heard for ages. It's what I listen to most of the time. I also have a manual playlist called 'stand out tunes' into which I place every song that jumps out at me when I'm listening on shuffle. By jump out I mean, the kind of song that stops you working or you suddenly realise you're singing along with or tapping one's foot to.
