i agree that the randomness isnt that good, but its the same randomness thats used elsewhere. but, lets put the randomness aside for now. there is a larger question to answer which can mask the problem.
today, the only check is that the user has atleast one song in the database which is why there's no duplicate stripping yet. i like jm's idea of keeping a history of the last 'x' songs but it still presents a question... what should be the minimum number of songs in the database to enable party mode?
once this question is answered, we can figure out what history size to use for duplicate detection to strip them out.
