whats the DRM? (i just downloaded itunes last night!) [/b]

Yea - that's the worst - I hate it too. But my need for immediate gratification has caused me to use the store.
 
 When I buy anything from iTunes - I make one MASTER copy & mark it as such. Then if I ever need to make copies I do so with another source (home audio, etc.)
 
 iTunes can only keep track of the number of burns when you actually use it's product. So far it's been fail safe for me.

Best Doves song. Not even any other contenders for me.

has anyone noticed that the random shuffle isn't so random?
 
 Most times, my first ten tracks include 2-3 cuts off the same album.
 
 Apple made a fix for this in the latest itunes, but it hasn't made a difference...

No sooner did converts load their libraries onto the shiny new devices than they discovered a new deficiency: The randomization feature seemed anything but, well, random. Sure, "I Got the Blues" no longer played back to back with "Bitch," but two songs later, the Rolling Stones were back, and three tunes after that they were back again.
 
 ....
 
 when I ran my 2,700-song playlist through the program, it didn't take long to find the same lack of variety. Song No. 4 in the list was "Bleeding Heart Disease," a tune off the first album by the Southern punk rock band The Dexateens. Song No. 6 comes from the same CD.
 
 My playlist has a total of 17 songs by the band, so it seemed highly unlikely that two of them would be bunched so close together in a random order. But I was wrong about that.
 
 The problem, it turns out, isn't that the programs aren't randomizing my playlists. They are. According to Jeff Lait, a mathematician and author of randomm3u, it's what's happening between my ears, specifically, in my expectations of what it means for something to be random.
 
 To illustrate his point, Lait referred to a phenomenon statisticians call the birthday paradox. Roughly stated, it holds that if there are 23 randomly selected people in a room, there is a better than 50-50 chance that at least two of them will have the same birthday. The point: Mathematical randomness often contradicts our intuitive expectations of randomness.
 
 What we want, Lait says, isn't a list that's been randomized, but one that's been stratified, or separated into categories that are weighted by a listener's preferences. A stratified playlist might select songs randomly but would be smart enough to throw out choices that, say, would repeat a band within 10 songs.

This is true; I've seen it done as an experiment a few times.  I have ZERO idea why this works mathematically though.
