For more randomness, scramble the bits to get a unique ear bleed!
In all seriousness, I do agree BUT as someone whos Music folder is a unorganized mess of downloaded youtube videos, sound effects, and a few ripped albums i wouldn't trust randomizing it.

I sometimes have terrible memory when it comes to songs, so I would be checking the booklet a lot. Thankfully, my cd player is broken and my albums are all ripped :)

 AA> Is that on a 5-disc CD player or something? That would be

Huh, I didn't know these existed.. 
Why would they have such a non-standard disk player tho? I'd think they would use the built-in one or a cheap usb player off amazon.

 AA> Outch. That's kinda lazy for sure. There are resources like 
 AA> CDDB built into rippers that ought to solve that problem, but 
 AA> that requires being online at the time of rip.

Everything is always-online these days, and stuff like VLC is pretty good at auto obtaining metadata from what I've heard.


 A>> I sincerely hope I am adopted.

 AA> :D
