this would be more amazing if the iPod actually played Steely Dan *even though* you own not one Steely Dan track... and never even put a Steely Dan track on it ... EVER. THAT would be freaky.
this is on par with people seeing faces in everything. or thinking that tarot cards or horoscopes or nostradamus quatrains in some way can accurately predict the future. people like random events and random formations to contain a deeper meaning with a deeper power behind them. they don't like the idea that in some cases... things really do just happen by pure chance and completely beyond ones control.
i presume the word 'random' is prefaced with 'pseudo-' because the algorythms by their inherent nature really aren't completely 100% random? in that... if they were you might *randomly* (though highly unlikely) hear the same song like 58 times in a row? and another song not once?
