Is it normal for shuffle to do this?

Everytime I throw my ipod touch into shuffle, it always plays the same songs. Kinda. I have 150 songs, and 12 are U2. If I play 25 songs in shuffle, at least 10 will be U2 everytime. I used to like this band, and now I am about to take them off of my ipod. Is it normal for shuffle to play so many of the same song?

    U2 in my opinion are way better than lady gaga!!! Mine does it too, plays the same songs and I have 4000 songs on mine! I've taken some songs off though because at first I loved those songs but after hearing them allllll the time I got over them. Maybe take the ones off that your getting sick of or make a favorite playlist and just put that on so u only hear the songs u want too( depending on your iPod of course, not all iPods let u have playlists)

    You just don't tell him that. 1. U2 is great, or at leasr better than Lady gaga 2. Not everybody likes what you like. My ipod does that too :)

    My ipod favors The All American Rejects. I don't care since it's my fav band lol but i think if you have numerous songs by one artist or band your ipod assumes you like them most and plays them.

    most portable things will use a random number table to get 'random' numbers and arnt that random it could be that u2 got a lucky placement, just add some music or delete some or rename the u2 tracks

    Mine does this also. Is there a setting that keeps it from playing the same ones?

    I think it favours iTunes artists/songs. Cause my shuffle will play the annoying popular songs I had on my iPhone just to hear every once in a while instead of the hundreds of other unknown artist songs which kinda blows.

    You shouldn't even like U2.

    But yeah my iPod tends to favor Lady Gaga.
