A while back, I was getting frustrated with how the shuffle was working or not working on my Ipod. It would favor songs and it would often play stuff that I don't really want to listen to all the time. I started searching for hacks and stuff like that and I found nothing. I did, however, find a site that got me going on this "Ultimate Shuffle" playlist.
Before digging into this, you need to remember 2 things:
- You need to rate your tracks! This is essential to how this works. You don't always have to rate them as they play, but definitely rate them when you plug it in to your computer to sync.
- Tracks need to be played in full! In order for a "play" to count, the track needs to be played in full from beginning to end. I sometimes will fast forward tracks so they count.
So here we go!
