shuffle problem with Windows Media Player

Hi.

I've used Windows Media Player (WMP) for a few years now and had a comment about the shuffle option.
When the shuffle option is turned on, the program won't play each song once in the playlist before
it repeats the playlist. It has a tendency to shuffle to a song already played before moving to a new song.
Once I had over 20 songs in a playlist. After one of the songs in the middle of the playlist played,
WMP shuffled to the same song. This is even in WMP 9. Will the later versions have a fix for this? Thanks.

WMP9 has a significantly better shuffle, but there are still certain ways
(adding tracks to the playing playlist, I believe) to break it....

See http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
