Title:
  Shuffle mode needs to be refined

Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
  Fix Released
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I use RB to play an eclectic collection of 184 MPS's, with a total duration of
  over 13 hours.
  I use the 'shuffle' mode to play these. The problem is that it regularly play
  the same song twice in a row, or 3 times in just 20 minutes. 

  I used XMMS to play this songs in the past (before using RB ie), and IIRC, XMMS,
  in shuffle mode, will wiat for the entire playlist to have been played, before
  allowing a song to be played again. So it's better, but not perfect, because if
  the playlist is very long, it could take days before a song plays twice. Also,
  IIRC, once it has played all the songs, it will not 'shuffle' them anymore : it
  will just play them in the same order that they got played the first time :o(

  I think a better solution would be for example to wait some time before playing
  a given song again. Say, wait at least 30 or 45 minutes before playing twice the
  same song, or make it configurable with some Gconf key or something. This way
  you don't get the same songs twice in a row, nor do you wait 3 days to hear a
  song twice. Best of both worlds... :o)
