I have my Sansa on non-shuffle because, well, I once smashed the screen (very accidentally!) with my Linear Algebra textbook (damn you, mathematics! You stand in the way of my music! D:) and it now shows no more than blackness sprinkled with the bright pinpoints of stars.
Yeah.
And my music is varied enough that it's like the thing's playing on shuffle anyway. Just that the names are in alphabetical order--no biggie.
So the other day I decided to spice things up a little bit and changed it to play on shuffle (don't tell me how much of a dorkus I am that I can remember the button/scroll combination to manage the settings on my mp3 player without being able to see Jack Schitt on the screen.) Here's a brief summary of what I got:
French--Chinese--French--Chinese--French--Korean--French.
Holy fuck, where did all my whitebread songs go?
Everlast--French--Korean.
Oh, well, there you go then.
Honestly, sometimes I forget how non-English my songs are. It's like when I did that shuffle meme on Facebook the other day and got:
1/ Tactikollectif!--Bella Ciao
2/ Bénabar--Triste Compagne
3/ The Red Army Choir--Katyusha
4/ The Cat Empire--Voodoo Cowboy
5/ Barry Manilow--Copacabana
6/ Marlene Dietrich--Lili Marleen
7/ Metallica--Enter Sandman
8/ Rammstein--Büch Dich
9/ The Scarlet Pimpernel--Madame Guillotine
10/ Johnny Cash--The Man Comes Around
There you go. English is overrated, seriously folks.
