Q53: How does the shuffle work?
A53: It sees the playlist as a deck of cards, shuffling the entries using a
pseudo-random generator called the Mersenne Twister. After shuffling,
the list is never changed again until you reshuffle the list, by
stopping the playback and restarting. If the repeat mode is enabled,
the list will simply start over from the first file again, without
reshuffling.
The random seed is stored in the persistent setting area, so that the
resume feature can shuffle the playlist in exactly the same way when
resuming.
