"I actually thought the same thing for awhile, that my mini wasn't entirely random, so I did an easy check. Since iTunes shows how many times a song is played, I just plotted up a nice little bar chart and got more or less a bell curve. I was bored at work, what can I say?"

Shouldn't you be getting more of a slightly wavy line? A bell curve shows normal distribution and/or the fact that the songs in the center of your bell curve are getting more play time than those sorrounding it(on the curve).
