[QUOTE="bk227865, post: 6803179, member: 621973"] After some trials i ran (pressing the next button a few 100th times) i have found out this is not 100% correct. (altough it looks that way) The USB MIX function starts playing somwhere at the first songs of your library. Then to choose the next song the fuction goes up or down randomly a few tracks. And so one and one. This means that "eventually" it will wander up or down to a different part of your library on your usb device. (this however can take hours or even days depending on how big your collection is) I tried this out by pressing the "next song" button a few 100th times. first it played the song numbers ranging in the 0 to 100. but slowly it wandered up playing songs ranging between 100 and 200. then it wandered back down playing songs in the range 0 to 100 again And after that it went slowly up to the 300-400 range. So it's not really selecting a random song but it uses sort of a "drunken motion" to stumble through your library. Ofcourse this is a pretty lame way of playing random songs in a big library because at the beginning of your trip you always start out by playing the same first songs and only moving to songs further away a long long time later. And if you have bad luck it just keeps wandering around the first songs. It would have been much better if the HU picked a completly random song out of the whole range of the library. [/QUOTE]
